I was bored so I started searching archives and came across these
findings in rec.scuba circa 1990. I thought a few of you might get a
kick out of this.

A couple of names caught my attention, not as current posters but just
cuz I recognized them from dive discuassions and searching for five
info on the 'net.

William Mayne was a prolific poster in the early 90's, much of it to
do with the Florida caves.

I only actually saw one post by this fellow but his name, Todd
Leonard, used to come up frequently in reference to his scuba resource
site.

The following you will all recognize. I decided arbitrarily that I'd
search till I found three names of current regulars working forward
from 1990. They came up in the following order.

Hugh A. Huntzinger (1991 April) hit the ground running and quickly
became a prolific poster, establishing himself early as a gotto guy
for Caymanian diving.

Then Robert F. Ling later that month with a few posts.

Then Dillon Pyron in April of '92. I'm not sure how frequently he
posted in those early days because he was thrid and the end of my
search.

Here's what passed for a nasty flame in those innocent days.

For those who PROPOSE to know so much, especially about everyone but

Cerebral embolisms involve the brain. You know, that couliflower
looking
thing that somebody shoved in between those things that glasses
are hung off of.
Alveoli are the little bags at the end of broncioles that allow gas
exchange. You know, kinda like the things you put your sandwich into
but
smaller (they look kinda like broccoli only different).
Now, lets try some new words: Glutealgia, pneumocephalgia. :>

This got him a slap on the wrist with orders to take it offline.
