  Raimo, what did they say about you in the article?
I wish they would quote me, it would save me weeks
of flamming on here. I can see now that these guys
(aquacorps) are the kind of parasites that need to
be given a wide berth. In my conversations with them,
I realized that I was dealing with the editorial
equivalent of "Jerry's Kids". Besides pervading the
magazine with their own "personal preference", they
know nothing about practical diving and are intrigued
by the non-diving aspects of diving, as well as the
areas that do not apply to us. I saw their first 
issue, and it actually had content. The rest are
quite empty. You all say Rich had an article in 
there, but who would bother to find out? 
    If you guys are subscribing to this, you are the
problem. Try subscribing to Deeptek - at least these
guys are trying to get out the information that 
applies to all of us, from the begining "tech" diver
to the experienced, and they do it without prejudice,
or any attempt to modify or qualify .
     I can tell you from my own experience with these guys
that they have no interest in the facts, only the sensational.
Notice that they have never mentioned a single dive done
by any members of our group or acknowledgement of the
techniques involved, yet they claim to be covering
this type of activity. Isn't that a little bit of an
omission?
      They are not the only magazine at fault here. There
are others only interested in the "on the edge" aspects
of our activities. In dealing with that, we have now
restricted or editiorial output to either papers published
by Todd Kincaid or Jarrod Jablonski, or coverage by Mike
Weisenbaker. Deeptek is the only one who is authorized now
to write it their way about us - the others just can;t get 
it right. - G
