Mike R.....
Trust me, I believe you are telling the truth and making it right after the 
fact is not the point. You also did not recover any artifacts, you really 
could care less about them I believe. Now the problem I had, Mike B has 
admitted to only telling me on the way out that the wreck was possibly 
protected . I did not recover anything and was offered a fecsel lens by 
Barnette during the dive and I refused.

The problem is he knew that the possibility existed that this wreck was 
protected and chose to still remove artifacts first and check the LAW 
later. The photos I have clearly show it was premeditated theft and I was 
asked to remain silent. I was sent these photos from another who was on the 
dive and had video of it, he named the photos and sent us all copies by 
email. While directing me I could not place the ones showing the recovery 
of the artifacts on my site. He has his copyright on them.
Really I could care less, the artifacts will just rot down there, really to 
deep for very many to see. But I do enjoy showing everyone the true nature 
of Mike Barnette. I cannot believe you guys are stupid enough to keep 
letting this come out, cause if I did not have the proof and a witness at 
the dock I could very well be sued. But I have the photos, I have the 
witness. But Mike Barnette is not smart enough to say "No Comment" and then 
it becomes an issue I must pursue if I want anything really done to him. To 
tell the truth I could care less, I like fucking with him because he is a 
dumbass. Now I have answered this as fast I can, if you do not approve your 
post I will not this one......Mike R. stay out of this, if I see yours gets 
posted I will post this one.
