Nope ??...Nope to what ? Not sure what you're disagreeing with other
that just reinforcing your opinion of Aldora.
BTW, I've read all the "Aldora sucks" threads long ago and would not
dive with them simply because I have my personal favorite.
I've been on 200+ drift dives in Mexico but never been on a "Mexican"
drift dive.

Joe,
My wife & I were in Cozumel during Wilma at Scuba Club Cozumel. You couldn't
ask for a better bunch of people than the staff there! I think they will be
open around the 12th. This was our third trip. I know they already have
power back at the resort. check out their web site. Dives leading up to
Wilma were great - good DMs and good boat crews.

Town may be more problematic - some sections had heavy devastation, others
not too bad. I know some sections of the square were already re-opening on
Wednesday after the hurricane. Give SCC a call - ask for Sofia - I'm sure
they will give you the straight scoop.

I did it in two parts, just for you IDIOT Ron Lee.

For the posts I replied to Ron Lee, the idiot/message ratio is at least

3.14159, because Ron Lee is such an IDIOT, proven over and over again.

For the OTHER posts of mine, while there are many IDIOTS in newsgroups,
they are negligible compared to the non-idiot posters. Therefore, the
idiot/message ratio (excluding Ron Lee) of my 100,000 posts is at most
0.005.

No context for Ron Lee to be the net IDIOT of all time.

See, for this post, your IDIOT ratio easily exceeded your average of
3.14159.

We stayed at
http://www.reefclubcozumel.com in April and had a great time. Dove
with there on site OP which was fine. We got an awesome deal by buying
the vouchers described under the "specials" on this link.
http://reefclubresort.com/ This is a guys site to sell the
certificates not the official resort site.
Payed $1210 for both of us not PP in a junior suite that was huge
with own Hot Tub on our huge deck, plus got the VIP restaurants and
bars and discount on diving. This is all meals and drinks.

I managed to buy some of those vouchers myself but I had to buy 20 of
them to get them. He sells them for $225 which is definitly worth it
but I can sell some at $150 since I just want to get out from under a
few of them not make a business of it. My email is firstwizard@cox.net
if you need more info.

See what I mean about Alan Street following me just to show he is my
stalker and worshipper? He was in rec.travel.air and
rec.travel.cruises
too, sticking his nose into the posts in which I kicked two IDIOTS in
those groups.

Alan Street has absolutely NO LIFE, and he is an IDIOT's IDIOT, which
is proven in the ng archives.

-- Bob.

Bob, do you really think that your use of childish name-calling terms
per post just magically equals the value of pi? I don't believe that
so go back and do it again. You will see in my post of an appropriate
subject that it is higher than three. Of course it is nothing to brag
about by well-adjusted, civil people.

I have never, ever read rec.travel.cruises. I dispise cruise ships. But
obviously this "cross-posting" thing is a little hard for you to grasp,
isn't it?

As for following you, it's pretty much impossible to read any newsgroup
you frequent without stepping in one of your verbal cowpies. Every once
in a while I feel the urge to respond to one of your more outrageous
claims. That's not worship, it's ridicule.

I seem to remember another person in rec.scuba who had a problem
telling the difference between ridicule and worship. May we expect you
to follow his path to its logical conclusion?


€ too, sticking his nose into the posts in which I kicked two IDIOTS in

€

The only people you kicked were in your deluded little mind. Tchiowa
kicked your ass all over the place and showed you up for the
lightweight, inexperienced and lying little leisure traveller you are.
People in rec.travel.air think you're just as much of a buffoon as do
the people in rec.scuba.*

€ Alan Street has absolutely NO LIFE, and he is an IDIOT's IDIOT, which

Where would you be without your precious archives, Feesh? They're your
life and your alter-ego. Of course, everyone reading them except you
finds that they tell a tale of a sad, washed up little old man who can
only feel good when he insults everyone who dares challenge him.

Enjoy your cruise. Personally, I'd think spending all this time in an
internet lounge of a cruise ship would be a sign of mental illness. But
as you proudly claim, it's your life and you are the only person who
dictates how you spend your time (except, of course, for that little
monkey on your back).

As for me, I'm back on the road again this week and next (presenting a
paper, chairing a session at a conference and giving the grad students
I fund a hard time <g>). Lightweight travel by some standards, but I'll
still be spending some time in airport lounges. Who knows, I might even
use some of it to read a couple of Usenet newsgroups

And ALL those times, Alan Street made the same mistake of siding with
the IDIOT who was WRONG.

It's worship. See my preceding sentence.

The Bangkok IDIOT made FIVE consecutive ERRORS in his last 5 posts.
He was kicked this morning before I read any of the rec.scuba IDIOTS.

> People in rec.travel.air think you're just as much of a buffoon as do
> the people in rec.scuba.*

Obviously you haven't read either group much. Granted there are more
IDIOTS re-surfacing in rec.scuba during this Reef Fish worshipping
Festival, the IDIOTS in air.travel have long been silenced except this
clueless newbie Tchiowa you side with.

Check out the long-time FORMER idiots in rec.travel.air: Vitaly
Shmatikov (changed his posting name now to VS), Paul Tauger (now
changed his name to PTravel), and the all time professional troll,
Michael Voight, of a thousand aliases, recently known as mrtravel.

They all learned their lesson and STOPPED being a pest on me.

Not so the IDIOTS in rec.scuba. That's how clueless you are!

I would have had it in my photographic memory. I also had them in my
own archived, known as the BHD, so show IDIOT the actual evidence.
Google just made it easy to catch LIARS like Lee Bell, Alan Street, Ron
Lee, and the rest of the newsgroup IDIOTS when they resort to LIES.

Nepotism? Does anyone attend your session? What an IDIOT you are.

I have been the Program Chairman of International and National
Meetings,
and the last ASA Annual Meeting I went to in San Francisco, in 2003,
FOUR of my former doctoral students were presenting papers there.

If you are a NOBODY in recreational newsgroups compared to my
experience,
you are INVISIBLE and completely negligible in academia.

Get a LIFE, Alan Street, and buy some Clue on REALITY.

In the Google Web section, I found this Alan Street,

*> Alan Street got involved in Scouting years ago, to fit in. Now, the

*> 17-year-old with Down Syndrome

That sound like a perfect fit of you, Alan! LOL

Certainly sounded more intelligent than that Alan G. Street in the same

Google web hits. That Alan G. Street had and did absolutely NOTHING of
any significance to anyone.

Sand Dollar is okay, at best. Definitely a lowest common denominator
operator. I got bitched at on both of my dives with them in June (off
the Elation, took the cruise line default). Stayed down until the DM
was out of air, didn't spend much time with my buddy (who turned out
to be pretty good on his air).

I'd go again at Thanksgiving, except I think the island needs a little
more recoup time. But I think they need the money more.

I wonder if they're discounting the Viagra in the big farmacia on Ave
R Melgar.
