Well said Peter. I often find myself hitting the del button before I get through any of George's post because I don't have the time to read the bullshit. I don't know much about the WKPP or George, I've heard they have a really great system, but I am turned off by the constant insults to even try and find out more info. I've been actively involved with diving some 20 years through teaching recreational diving and wreck diving in the northeast and until I began subscribing to the list have never heard about the WKPP. To be honest cave diving scare the hell out of me and I hand it to the people who can do it safely. I think they should change there attitude and educate instead of criticize. Just my opinion.
