Bill, 

<Which quiet "Karst Boys" might you be referring to?  Which of 
these "Boys" are you carrying on a fraternal relationship with?  
How about a few names here, you have aroused our curiosity>

As much as it hurts to admit, George has actually been the more 
civil one here.  The quiet Karst Boys are the ones (who unlike
 yourself) do the work, enjoy the dives, and then go home without 
stirring up unecessary BS about another dive in which they have 
only heard rumors, or read in the newspaper.  I don't know who they are, 
That's what makes them so nice.The day you start believing the 
news or the papers for factual first-hand information,
 we are all in trouble. 

<I am also intrigued by your reference to our "operation", whatever that
might be.  Perhaps you could describe your observations in more detail and
tell us who your inside pals in the WKPP are who invited you 
onsite.>

Never have to be invited to a State Park, ever.

<Tell us everything and then go on to tell us how none of what you saw has
any remote application to ocean diving.  When you are finished with this
then go to the GUE website and further observe how nothing in DIR applies to
offshore diving.>

Never said anything bad about DIR diving.  I dive it every dive, every 
application, and try to help others do the same.

<Speaking about armchair diving.  Certainly everyone may do a bit that from
time to time; however, may I remind you that for the most part we dive all
year around in Florida and that most of our diving is in the ocean.  Please
tell the Swedish Brothers that DIR does  not apply to cold water.  I am sure
that they will appreciate your sapient advice.>

Once again, nothing I said has been negative about DIR, my whole 
point was that you and George, and several others have tried to tell 
some guys up here that you knew more about the Doria tragedy 
when you were in Florida, using "hear-say" information.  

<Stephie, thanks for the heads up. I really do appreciate your many
informative contributions to this list.> "Steve" did I mispell that?

Thanks Bill, I always enjoy others informative posts too.  I am also 
glad that I take the time to be civil, and not resort to petty name 
calling (whaa).  

Thanks for your time,
