I agree on the wreck stripping - I never take anything as I like to see it and so does everyone else. This again is the attitude that is passed on by the original strokes out there - the usual suspects. Thanks, Max. Sooner or later it will be a stigma to do dumb things, and everyone will remember who taught those things , who defended them, and who still goes. I think you covered that list already. -----Original Message----- From: max [mailto:max@xd*.co*] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2000 12:50 AM To: Trey Cc: Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com Subject: Thanks Trey Thanks Trey I was one of the guys that came out swinging at you and all things DIR. Giving up on every thing you believe from 20 years of stroke diving is very hard. I was so cock sure that you were full of shit and i knew it all . TDI, IANTD, and PADI did the initial programming you did the deprogramming and reality is harsh. Your poison pill attitude slap in the face persistent and constant simple approach was what was needed other wise i would have written you off. And if it was not for you and your buddies on here week after week pounding the same consistent DIR message hard, DIR would have been watered down by now and forgotten. Hogarthian may have been around for a while but you are the father of DIR. Your efforts are appreciated and it does make a difference. Max out PS: Maybe we could extend the DIR Attitude to include Anti fresh water wreck stripping. Only an idiot stroke would see the value in taking home a old spoon or dead eye only to have it rot and get tossed in the garbage 3 weeks later. Technical diving is opening up new wrecks once to deep for conventional diving. But these new wrecks are being picked over in record pace by the stroke vultures. This has got to stop. My attitude on this is simple if its gold, silver or diamonds take it otherwise leave it alone. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
