Are you sure? Can't you have a Technical Knock Out by unanimous decision?

I'd bet the pictures don't do the situation justice. I know that no
pictures of what Wilma did to S. Florida that I've seen adequately
represent the full extent of the impact.

Can you believe this guy? He's picking apart a letter from a guy that lived
it. Not to mention that Dale doesn't post here or even know that
rec.scuba.locations exists.

But hey, I'll be sure to pass along Reef's nitpicking remarks . . .not.

He did not say he was in the eye for 40 plus hours.

Wotdayya know?

Hurricane Wilma must have devastated all the KILLFILES in
rec.scuba.locations! LOL!

I think I had about half a dozen folks who repeatedly bragged
that they had me in their killfiles -- Lee and chilly.

Now they are BOTH here.

The devastation of Wilma was even more severe than I thought.

I had already acknowledged that it was intended to be a nitpick,

Just because he lived through it doesn't mean his INFO was accurate or
even useful. Relative to THAT, here was the INFO I gave,


> Puerto Maya cruise ship pier is gone,

RF> Puerta Maya. Only partially blown away.

RF> http://dive.scubadiving.com/members/...ies.php?s=8185

RF> There's a thread of 32 posts (since Oct 25) about these pics in
RF> rec.travel.cruises.

If chilly had left my post alone as she should've, I wouldn't need to
explain the above or to add that she SHOULD have left the gossip
(and NON INFO) remarks from her friend Dale to her PRIVATE email, and
let the newsgroup folks post and read the REAL info.
