No, seriously. This is a free planet, go start your own list. It can be a 
moderated list and you, Grant, can supress, eject, humiliate, sanction 
and stifle any posts which do not meet your apparenlty high standards.

I'm sure us divers will flock to a nice, clean, sterile, and unspeakably 
boaring list which you and travis would lord over. You could start a 
diving "newspeak" which will, in a fair, politically correct way, gently 
guide us sheep-like divers in the proper direction.

Oh, please, let me be the first one to join up. Then you have have the 
orgasmic pleasure of throwing me off after my first post.

Let us know when you have it set up.

   Jim
