Peter, Thank you for your concern. It has been tough for Todd and his younger brother Ted. Their parents were killed by two drunk drivers who, as fate would have it, were lawyers on their way home from some kind of social in North Central Florida. I had already gone off to college and Richard was in the Navy Seal's. His dream was to start a dive shop once he got out like the rest of his buddies did. The two youngest Todd's were raised by their sister (whatever you do, don't get her pissed!) and sometimes they get a little out of hand. Hopefully the good name of the Todd family has not been to badly damaged Best wishes, John In a message dated 99-12-08 23:39:52 EST, HESSIANS writes: << Subj: Re: Von, you fat slob Date: 99-12-08 23:39:52 EST From: HESSIANS To: JohnTodd1 John That was one of the most shameful and distasteful personal attacks that I have ever seen on ANY chat group. While it is well and good that you apologise for your brother, he is the one who needs to do so, not you. How can you ever expect him to grow up if you are always taking responsibility for his immature actions? Do you know either Susan or Bill? They are both excellent divers--as indeed, are nearly all of those of us who actually try to pick up useful knowledge from this list only to incur the wrath of the Irvinites. Do you know how many hundreds of people who have quit this list and despise the whole lot of the WKPPers for their egotistical insensitivities? In spite of his underwater accomplishments, most divers think that George and his syncophants are unadulterated pricks. And this is from mostly people who have never met him. I do not share this opinion but can only remain ambivalent to George as I too, have not met him. Susan Innes and Bill Von Haene are also both gifted lawyers who could tear up your little brother and spit him out in court if they so desired. You need to slap your brother for his despicable post and for heaping dishoor on your own good name. I have tried on several occasions to keep things focused on tech diving but am growing very disillusioned with the incapacity of my fellow divers to avoid self-aggrandizement and the degradation of their "rivals". This is really a pathetic group, I am sorry to learn. Peter Hess >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
