Jeff a charity?  Certain NEDfesters look forward to hearing that your fully-
funded 2002 Caymans trip has come to fruition. You deserve it given all the
work you have done to accommodate us in Scuba-SE!

I must have missed a post here or there as I am not certain if the
conditions of the bet were two way?
Certain *others* are just as guilty in their negative & petty responses. In
fact it is glaringly obvious a couple of guys, who rarely contribute
anything of substance to the list these days, only appear to join the
bandwagon to put the boot in. I have not seen a decent scuba related post
from them at all this year so it would make a change if they changed their
style also... the list would really benefit if they did the same they ask
of others.
