Scuba Forum / General / July 2008Are You On Long Island, NY?
Would you like to Wreck Dive but you do not have a dive buddy? Need someone to show you the ropes? We are a group of experienced divers who charter a dive boat every Sunday. We are looking for divers to join our group. We will help you along and show you the ropes. This is a great opportunity to gain dive experience with a safe level headed group of men and women. The charter offers a discount from the typical rates charged by the dive boats. We have a B-B-Q each day with plenty of food. The boat is exceptionally well staffed with crew. We are rebreather friendly as well a single tank w/ pony bottle. So whatever your experience and gear preference you will feel safe and comfortable. Let's go dive! jcassara@optonline.netREMOVE 516-353-FIVE-674 Leave message and I will get back to you asap. http://njscuba.net/index.html You may be experienced divers, but your not experienced posters. You failed to mention what part of the world you dive in. Unless you're planning on doing some extensive traveling, or think what you have to offer is so special that others will, you might want to narrow your area down a bit.

Thank goodness it was ASCII! The trouble with a lot of tools these days is that the tool designers think that <insert alternative> is *so* much better than ASCII, we've just *got* to use it instead. And then the place to change the setting is usually buried about five layers deep in menus. While non-ASCII postings are a pain, given the realities of today's USENET, I'm not sure a major flame is in order here. Just my $.02 - which is difficult since Oz phased out the 1 and 2 cent coins about 10 years ago.

Everything comes up as "text," whether I like it or not.... Sometimes that reeks havoc with some replies or "quoted lines" that appear as one long string when Agent sometimes doesn't recognize "soft returns" until one "unquotes" the line. I end up usually having to format the quoted text by inserting hard returns. But it's still bullet proof when it comes to "attachments," Viri and the like... ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold > One of the advantages perhaps of Forte "Agent."

I've tried various newsreaders and it just kind of depends upon the mood I'm in at the time on which newsreader I might be using... I've been testing out quite a few and don't necessarily uninstall them after I'm through with my testing... I kept hoping to find a newsreader that had all the filtering capabilities that I wanted... Pan was good because it would allow me to filter on substrings in the Message-ID field... None of them would allow for filtering in the NNTP-Posting-Host field though... Finally figured out a way that would work with any of the newsreaders... I run nfilter as a proxy server and set rules under it... Let's me filter on anything in the headers... Seems to work pretty good... SignatureSee NNTP header field "X-Real-Email-Address" to reply by email. > Perhaps, but were they smart enough to post in plain text in a text > newsgroup?

This looks to me like a non commercial group of folks who charter a full boat so they can do what they want to and maybe save a few dollars (or pay a few more dollars and not have to deal with a boat crowded with idiots).

That goes beyond anything I might hope for. I'm satisfied when I can do nothing more than keep them from spreading their corruption to others. >>>I was even overwhelmed by warm feelings how you all respond >>>on plain simple spam.

Nightly might work, though, but only if I neglected making differences with respect to hell, and crap. Matthias I am sure not common with the usual proceedings in NJ. But I do have experience with people searching for buddies to finance their own charter to get it for free. Even in newsgroups. So it has 4 legs to me and it barks, therefor it must be a dog. > dollars (or pay a few more dollars and not have to deal with a boat > crowded with idiots).

It's the LockNess out of Freeport, Long Island. I am a part of this group. Been diving the wrecks up here for years. Too many dives to count. We basically have the boat to ourselves. Makes for a great trip, great food and the usual banter that goes on between divers. As a group, some of us have been together for over 10 years. No "macho" divers here. There might a be "puke fest" on the bow at times though.... The cost of wreck diving here in the North East is expensive. Since we book the boat for every Sunday, it cuts down on the cost of the dives. If you book through us, it will be less than booking from their website http://www.locknessdiveboat.net/. I believe that we are the cheapest charter out right now. All trips are 2 dives w/2hr SI. The downside.. and you WWW's (warm water whimps) will cringe at this... boat leaves the dock at 6am, you lug your own gear there and take it off. Trip to most sites is a couple of hours. Back to the dock usually by 4pm. So, a little more info. Spam? No way. We aint making anything off this. We want others to experience the wonderful cold, dark, limited vis, HUGE REAL wrecks that we dive! Oh, and the lobsters taste better. So do the flat fish, sea bass, black fish, mussels and scallops > SNIP > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Oh, and the lobsters taste better.

If you're refering to my post in re: the APL-31, I didn't consider any of my responses "flames" at all. I learn a lot from this group. Sometimes, the lessons have to be stern, but only because the people giving them give a rodent's posterior about both their's and others lives here (not that you don't). Having been here for only 2.5 years, I've been able to dive with quite a few regulars here and always learned something (Popeye, you still owe me a Dutch day. :-) ). I found my dive mentor on this group. I'd love to accept your offer, but Long Island is way too far a haul for me (I'm still trying to accept Manasquan/Brielle as *necessary*, as is my gas credit card). :-) ____________________________________________ Regards, Arnold >>It's amazing, >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > you still owe me a Dutch day. :-) ).

No fills needed to blow hot air. Didn't you post the same thing a couple years ago? Seemed like a good opportunity to me. We have similar organized activity at least once per month during the dive season. |
