JT, I don't use either, both are bullshit, and don't care. What was the
gear, what was the problem, what is the big difficulty just putting out
a simple report. Just do it and skip the slop. I hear you do not
subscribe to the stupidity going on up there ( according to Cobb ), so
why not just give us the scoop.

What really scares me about all of these guys is that they do not see
how a convoluted rig makes any situation a nightmare. Getting off of the
line in a current is not supposed to kill you. You are supposed to be
divers, not parakeets. 

I want to know why you all dive like Thunderdome ( "two men enter, one
man leaves"), why balancing a rig is so hard for all of you to
understand, and why ferrying around a bunch of pathetic fat slobbering
goons is such a point of pride in wreck "diving".

I want to know what to tell Lt Tim Dickerson of the USCG if I return his
call . The USCG wants to know why the WKPP can dive without leaving a
body trail, but the "recreational" "commmunity" can not. I am sick of
talking to the USCG, they drive me nuts down here every time one of you
wacks somebody with stupidity . I told them that here they need to do
their job - where their is one form of stupidity, they will find many
others which are ticketable.

How about the truth this time, rather than the coverup, then I can refer
the USCG to you and you tell them why what is going on up there is so
out of control and reaking of farm animal hard headed sub human
stupidity.

You guys are on your last set of chances up there, just like the strokes
down here are all but finished doing any diving worth doing. I think
they need to drag that piece of shit Andria Doria up on the beach where
you whales can collect all of the garbage off it with picks and shovels.
You'd probably all still get killed. In fact, you all could wear your
pizza stained Doria shirts while you were sifting through the trash, and
put up web sites showing the whole story.
