Lee, I didn't mean to suggest  you had made any judgements on this
issue.  I have always observed you to be very fair.  My point was simply to
state that I can't imagine why on earth the organizers of a dive show in
Australia would feel any obligation to explain a decision they made about
the speakers to this list -- a small group of divers most of whom live
thousands of miles away.  I just don't think they owe us anything.  JJ's a
different story, but I see that as between them.

Now, I would like to hear about the speakers and topics from Strike should
he be will to write something up.
