--=====================_9050335==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Hi Jan This is not the first exchange we have had and the others were pleasant just as this one will be. Yes there is a huge swing in what each person believes what techdiving is, just as some consider a 200ft depth an extreme dive for them, Tom and I no longer even carry tables for such dives. What is extreme for one is a cake walk for another. You have never been accused of doing any dick waving.... but lets face it, you don't have one ;-) I respect newbie questions until they no longer are real questions , but either meant to defame someone or kiss anothers ass. If I don't know you, I will generally do a search of the name to see what comes up........you would be surprised at the things I find. I even have photos that I have found on some pretty strange web sites, the person didn't even know was out there. If I were most of you out there I would do a search on your own name and see what comes up. The info that others will put out on the web that you think is hidden and forgotten, others will put out there without a second thought. I retain all information I can.........you never know when you will get to expose someone at just the right time, when they are in a full swing of dick waving.
