I once believed that, I don't anymore. Scubadiving.com cured me. In the
early 90s I actually got quite a bit of private feedback from the "lurkers"
either agreeing or thanking me for my input. I got zero, zip of that on
SD.com. I think they've been exposed to the BS for so long they don't know
what to believe.
