I haven't entirely given up on DAN as the
data repository (they are MUCH better qualified for this sort of thing
than am I). Perhaps I'll try to convince them to set up some fields in
their database if I have the opportunity at Tek95.

I'd certianly be willing to help convince DAN, if another voice at TEK or a
letter, electronic or real, will help. I have been somewhat disappointed in
their record keeping, however. As someone else just noted, when someone famous
(or on a famous mission or wreck) dies, you hear about it. It's not hard to
spot accidents that were written up in, say, aquaCorp, in the DAN publication
or accident summary book. When you can do that kind of comparison, DAN's
reports are often very terse and hard to learn much from. I hope somewhere they
keep more detail, but if they do, I wish they'd share it with us instead of
giving us little more than statistics. Just the same, I think it would be
valuable to have them keep IWR stats.
