you don't? My first post was founded in the fact that a little humility =
goes a long way towards getting a friendly response on this list, as =
opposed to pretending to know it all already. Humility is a trait you =
should probably seek to acquire.
Yeah, I lived in VA a year ago. I almost sought you out, thinking I =
might learn something. However, I soon realized from the idiocy you =
promote online that I wanted no part of such a three ring circus. I =
moved to FL shortly after that post. I lived in FL for most of the past =
year, and now I live in MS, if you care so much about where I live. I =
spent the last year getting an education by diving (a lot) with, and =
learning from people who, unlike you, know what they are doing. I've =
had a unique opportunity to learn from the pros, and I feel obligated to =
pass that information on when I can. Most of them have grown weary of =
battling idiots like you, so I picked up the torch. Admittedly, I =
haven't accomplished any great feats comparable to your endeavors such =
as, oh, let's see...wallowing around in the sand at 490', or chasing =
down a mooring line on the Doria, solo, after having to leave your piece =
of shit scooter behind. No, my achievements pale by comparison...
Quite frankly, I haven't much use for salt water right now, so =
you'll notice that my posts steer clear of the boat crap. In reference =

Two idiots sharing the same proximity doesn't make a team, in any =

the new guy around the kind of company I keep, but if you doubt my =
