I wasn't asking for YOUR opinion on +/-0 feedback, in fact I don't
give a damn about YOUR opinion on ANYTHING.  I'll take ALL the
information here, yes, but it's the stupid name calling, incessant
posting and whining that has to go.  One way to do this is to moderate
the list.  It's worked well for other newsgroups and it's time to do
something here.

>Anonymously or not, the information posted will be the same.

1) without knowing who the person doing the posting is, you have no
method to determine their experience, value of information, and
probability that it's correct.

2) anonymity allows pussy assed pukes like twopinks to post stupidass
comments with no accountability.

Hey, if it yanks your chain tough, unsubscribe (gee, where did I hear
THAT before) and crawl back into your hole.  I *offered* to do it in
case the owner thought that it was a good idea BUT did not have the
time and no one else that is capable was interested.  Nothing related
to diving should/would be stopped, but the idiocy that has been here
lately would be gone.  Sorry, George, that would remove a lot of the
fun that you've had and might cost you some sushi (hell, I'll buy you
sushi when I see you!) and would end your fun with some of the
strokes, but then you could get back to business and only deal with
the diving issues, but I guarantee there will still be plenty for you
to reply to.

And, yes, you are right (on at least THIS point), the owner can do
what he wants.
