Dave I don't know exactly who the fuck you think you are comparing the 
WKPP or the cave diving community in general to the Klan but I suggest 
you give a little more thought to this comparison.  Perhaps if you would 
spend a little less time looking at aquacorps with your dick in one hand 
and keyboard in the other you would understand the true level of strokery 
being exhibited on the techdiver list.
