MHKane accuses Bill Von Haene of "making an ass of himself" for having the 
termerity--and the diving credentials--to disagree with the WKPP Guru, George 
Irvine.  Having regularly read the invective that the WKPP claims as an 
intelligent discourse on technical diving, I find it to be the height of 
hypocrisy for any Invine-ite to accuse someone else of making an ass of 
himself.  

Thousands of gifted technical divers have given up on this list because the 
Irvine-ites refuse to divorce their mudslinging from practical, helpful 
information.  You guys do not have all the answers and DIR--which, by your 
own admission, is still evolving--is not the Manna from Heaven.  

Before y'all line up to flame me, pause for a moment (if this is possible) 
and consider how much more valuable this list would be if contrasting 
viewpoints were afforded the same respect that you seem to reserve 
exclusively for your champion.  Imagine the great divers who would regularly 
be a part of such discussions.  

Sadly, this list is becoming nothing more than WKPP fans congrulating 
themselves on their (admittedly impressive) accomplishments.  We can do much 
better than this.
