Art, the GUE thing has nothing to do with location or the NE. It has
everything to do with TDI. It also has everything to do with the insurance
agent who handles TDI and IANTD wanting me to shut up about what they are
doing wrong and wanting GUE to go along with the nonsense the rest of them
are perpetuating, neither of which is ever going to happen. They all hope
their little releases will hold up when they do stupid things, but they
clearly can not stand the light of reasoning from those of us who can point
out what is so obviously being done wrong. Your boy Danny is just a side
show - and nobody needs to "pound" this guy, he has been doing that to
himself for years.

Come on now - the genesis of Gilliam's problem with me was him calling me up
and telling me to be quiet about the deep air thing since that might make
them lose their insurance. It did not do that, but it did make them lose a
bunch of lawsuits, and it did force changes in their standards.

Art, there is right and wrong, and it is very clear what is right and wrong.
Nobody ever stood up to these morons before me, and all the little idiots
who want to defend these guys will be made to look just as stupid as they
look as time goes on. There is no way around it, and there is nothing anyone
anywhere can do about me and what is right or wrong, other than try to have
me killed, and they better get a real pro if they want to do that. Even that
would do no good now since there are so many out there who do know the
difference between right and wrong, and are now so willing to step up and be
counted. The dive industry, or more correctly the "training" industry, has
some real assholes in it and we all know who they are, and more people every
day are seeing that I have been right all along.

OK, now that we are done trying to see who's got the biggest dick.....

Has anyone tried checking the acceptance of GUE in other locations in the US
(Washington, Great lakes, etc.).  What about other areas of the world.  Not
the GUE strong holds where they have trained people.

What about Canada?
What about the Red Sea?
What about Bermuda?
What about the Mediterranean?
What about Truck Lagoon?

Having the NE boats not accept them isn't necessarily all the surprising
given the bashing they have taken over the years.  Wondering about the more
neutral locations?

Has anyone checked these locations or was it much more convenient to take
the opportunity to start a GUE vs. NE war?

Yes I'm in the NE.  Would I accept GUE certification, yes.

I don't care what AUE does or you .........you have my permission to post
any private emails from anyone I know, concerning anything..........most of
the divers that complain that dive with me don't like my rules or
decisions, which are based on their skill and experience, so I can see
where some would say things in private as long as it is not themselves they
are talking about. I often expose myself to help and let the others alone
to a point, they tend to be too thin skinned to tell the truth about
themselves. But I watch everyone and I know what their weaknesses and
strengthens are, so not to them get into to much trouble. Post the emails,
this should be fun.........
