It was OBVIOUSLY taken from some webpage on ABC. Anyone can
find the source by simply searching for any of the cited phrases.

In your zest to exercise your self-declared "Permanent Grudge" against
me, you wasted no time to jump on Ray Goldenberg's ABUSE wagon,
and completely overlook the fact that the important FACT in the post
in which Ray used TWO ADs to flame was:


The Natural Bridge of Aruba NO LONGER
exists, after the hurricane season of 2005.


The rest of hh's exhibit on his "permanent grudge" is just his exercise
on pedantic cites that are FAR from central to my statement above.

You have no room at all to talk about anybody else's permanent grudge.

A risk you take when you're deliberately as abrasive. Try a more gentile
approach. I think you'll find it works better. It certainly did for me.

Without an attribution, it is plagiarism.

You, Robert F. Ling PhD, have abusively screamed at others for
plagiarism, so for you to try to trivialize it you're now guilty of
doing it yourself is hypocrisy.

At the very least, you could simply apologize for previously yelling at
Don (et al), now that you're guilty of it too. Unlikely.

Ray had made a simple error in forgetting the URL link, to which he
promptly posted a correction. This correction was in place for ~3
hours before you jumped in with your hateful tirade.

If that's not evidence of yourself holding a Grudge, then its evidence
of kookism. To have such a grudge and then go on to whine about anyone
else's (real or perceived) simply makes you a hypocrite twice over.

Nor did this other famous rock formation exist after the hurricane
season of 2005:

Yes, the "blame" goes to Hurricane Bob, a Category k00k

I was in Bonaire this past November and the Marine Park Fee has
increased to $25 but it's definately worth it. We stayed at Divi
Flamingo and used there shop and I would recommend it. They have a good
shop and a decent house reef right there. If you want to head north and
go into town, there is a shop off the CyberCafe resturant. It was small
but I did notice that they offer dive trips and services.
