Hi Gang, I've been peeking in on you folks periodically since my last post, in November 2000, and see that things haven't really changed. The name-calling and ranting look about the same, and among all the flames and invectives, an occasional tidbit of useful information arises. A whole-hearted hello again to some of my good techdiver buddies, like Trey, Mr. DIR himself, whose last moniker was Robert L. Dawson. He taught me that it's OK for Doing-It-Rightists to have sockpuppets, but not OK for anybody else. Heck, it's OK for Doing-It-Rightists to do anything, including breaking all the rules, but not OK for anybody else. And speaking of breaking the rules, how's my good friend Scott Hunsucker, who says it's OK to run the CNS O2 clock up to 20,000 per cent (I love that one)? You graduated from med school yet, Hunsucker? And Dan Volker, how you been? I see you've taken quite a beating recently on rec.scuba for that lovely post about Team Stroke recruiting drunks and drug addicts. Good ol' Volker, another Doing-It-Rightist who broke all the rules in the past, like diving deep on air, and now crucifies anyone else who does the same. Hundreds of dives to 270 feet on air (good ol' pO2 1.9) were OK for Dan Volker, but not OK for anybody else. Then there's Scott Koplin, one of my favorites, because he pretends to know so much, yet he's only been diving four years and doesn't even log his dives. But he won't hesitate to lie about it and claim to have done thousands. Such a clever fellow, with all the profanity he spews; a role model for deceit, ignorance, anger, and inexperience (gotta love it). Jim Cobb, Billy Williams, Capt JT, Michael Kane...good to see you guys are still around. The diving world would get pretty boring without you.
