Scuba Forum / General / February 2004What is This Group?
I came to the scuba group for the first time today. The first topic (TMJ or head pain while diving) degenerated into a discussion of suing one another. The second topic was about Halliburton. The last topic I viewed concerned whether or nor to take a photo in color or black and white. Very little scuba discussions. To say the least, I am very disappointed. Another webtv user. You are welcome to stay or leave, suit yourself. PLUNK > I came to the scuba group for the first time today.

I came for the scuba several years ago. learned a lot, (and some scuba stuff too). Got a question? Ask, You'll get several answers, some flames, and some replies that you won't understand. But the knowledge that is available here is phenomenal, if you take the time to find it. As has been said here before, think of this as a scuba bar. Many things are discussed, scuba being only a part of it. -- Don't like the looks of nudists? Complain to the manufacturer. > I came to the scuba group for the first time today.

You left out the one where somebody that just joined the group posted his complaints about how everybody else posts to it. You want to talk about scuba, talk. You'll be surprised at the combined wisdom that resides in this group. You want to complain about how we handle our group, and have no doubt, it is our group, I suggest you go looking for somebody that cares. You won't find them here.

The last topic I viewed > concerned whether or nor to take a photo in color or black and white. > Very little scuba discussions. To say the least, I am very disappointed. I wondered too. As near as I can tell it is a group of people who know each other at least well enougn to banter. They choose sides. Sometimes they agree on a variety of "saving the world" subjects while sometimes they disagree. If you're on the other side of any particular arguement, you disagree assertively without regard to the strength of your position. The berated are killed-off or die of natural causes. After your dead you live forever in the threads - wearing either a black or white hat. New players arrive on the scene and the action repeats. I sometimes wonder if the posting is from an insomniac with multiple personalities and way too much time on his/her hands. To be sure, you won't find much about SCUBA and apparently that's the way its always been. I'm relatively new and quite dumbfounded by the goings on. Currently everyone is jumping on one "Salty". I'm expecting this character will be the next to perish. There is a "Resident Lawyer" but he is not the one that gives the legal opinions. Legal opinions evolve from the masses. One "Nitespark" wrote a really nice trip report - so it appears he goes diving. There are a whole bunch of others - I'm not sure how many - posting on 9/11, Halliburton, Homeland Security, God, etc. I'm thinking it takes a long time to really know the characters in this Internet Soap Opera. If you tune in for a couple months you can see it morph. Then come back maybe once a week to follow your characters. I see your handle. Do you know anything about farming?

New players arrive on the scene and the action repeats. Actually, only three have died, and we only have confirmation on one of them. The rest we beat regularly. > I'm relatively new and quite dumbfounded by the goings on. Currently > everyone is jumping on one "Salty".

Salty has been around awhile. She's a nurse, and when she was in training, she treated musket wounds. The lawyers here won't tell you who they are, Nitespark is a female, We are God, security doesn't come from the government, and don't get me started about the word "homeland". You could end up smited. And finally, I can name five divers here whose combined dives will total more than the total at sea on most liveaboards. We talk diving all the time. Just not with newbies, and never with strokes. Signature"We're going to rush the hijackers." -Jeremy Glick, aboard United Airlines flight 93, September 11, 2001 See how easy it is, FarmerDave. You rattle the cage bars just a little bit and the denizens scurry about, howling, throwing feces, very similar to the noble rock ape. It is all quite humorous, even entertaining if you are having a boring day. >See how easy it is, FarmerDave. You rattle the cage bars just a little bit and >the denizens scurry about, howling, throwing feces, very similar to the noble >rock ape. I always wondered if the apes weren't having a laff at our expense, at the way we shy away whenever they make a threatening move toward us. Watch them. It's interesting. The people on the outside are really intimidated by the critters in the cage, and seem to forget that it's merely noise and fury. One wonders who's really rattling what. 8) JF "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent their government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) >I always wondered if the apes weren't having a laff at our expense, at Just like here. >the way we shy away whenever they make a threatening move toward us.
