It sounds like Dive Rite is going to be blamed for the closing of the 
Cavers List.  At this point it would seem that a response from them 
should be forthcoming, and quickly at that.  If they are in fact 
innocent, and Ken received no pressure from Dive Rite, or any in their 
employment.  Then they are in need of some serious damage control.  The 
timing is what looks bad here.  Is it actually possible that a bad review 
of their gear has prompted this type of response.   Remember, the people 
reporting on their experiences, with any piece of dive gear, are the 
opinions of the writers, not the list.  Even if the moderator expresses 
an opinion that is unfavorable to a certain manufacturer, or piece of 
equipment.  This is no reason to bring to bare any outside force to his 
or her  place of employment.  If someone is doing a lousy job, then there 
are grounds for notifying a boss or supervisor.  In this instance, Ken 
was doing an excellent job, and stepped in several times to be the 
calming effect that was needed.  Someone, somewhere has overreacted, and 
we need to know if a moderator, or listserver is in anyway responsible 
for the content of what "airs" to it's subscribers.  If so, where do we 
go from here?
