I'm not concerned because I know you are lying. I'm just calling you a
liar, and
you have not been able to defend yourself against that charge.


I don't have to defend anything. It is you who must prove I am a liar, as
it
is impossible for me to prove I am not a liar (one cannot prove a
negative).


You made a statement that you cannot support. You remain a liar until
you support it. In fact you will remain a liar because I know for a
fact that you cannot support it. Tell you what, Crantzy. If you know
my name, you can email me at:



How do I know that's really you and not your brother in Minnesota?


As I've said all along... you DON"T know. If you did, you wouldn't
need to ask so many questions. How many other brothers do I have that
I don't know about?




I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Of course if you know my real
name, you can do this and still not be revealing anything in public.
That really doen't leave you much of an excuse.


As I said your boat registration information is in the public domain.
You've
confirmed it.


Of course it's in the public domain. You just don't have access to it.



What don't I have access to? The fact you have owned your present boat for
almost 42 months to the day?



Bzzzt! Sorry. Please try again.




Tell me about that hot tub!


Which one?


Pop a few glucosamines jump in and relax!

Cannot recall the names. I do know Miles Hecker who is still caving in
WY. I know Bob Montgomery although we have had a falling out for the
last 20 years.
Dont get me started, I'l be helplessly pulling out maps and going to
check my old gear. The smell of carbide brings back so many memories.
Sometimes when I am digging in the garden, I smell that musty odour of
decay that you get in a cave and images rush back.
There are very few ways that a man can engage in true discovery in
2006 but caving is one way. The knowledge that you are the first to go
somewhere is a powerful drug once you've felt it and it'll get into you
and make you do things you didnt think possible. Going somewhere that
is so close to reality but so disconnected from everyday experience has
to be experienced. It is a primeval world down there and I can almost
feel that it is the chaos before God created light. The thing that
drives cavers is the same thing that drives people to want to explore
space, it isnt science, it is Discovery.
If you're crazy enough to really want to go caving, you oughta get in
touch with the NSS (National Spelelogical Society) on the web. Thye
can tell where your local caving organization is located. Cavers tend
to be secretive and it might be several trips before they allow you
into their clique. Its really a matter of who you would trust with
your life.
Caving was the least expensive sport I ever did. Store bought outdoor
gear just doesnt work for it so you use junk from other sports. You
always look like crap so there is no motivation for anybody to make
nice looking gear. My total outlay for personal caving gear in 1985
was about $100.00. We bought rope together. it is antithesis of
sailing where all the gear looks nice and is really expensive.
