Boy, did Lee miss the smiley or wot?
While I saw Strike's comments clarifying he certainly does not have a Lee
Bell folder on his pc .. I could not see any posting that says if he
did 'the contents bothered him' ... show me where Strike says that?
How could he know Lee had a file on him, let alone know of its contents,
whether that would/would not bother him .. I seriously doubt he would give
a damn to be honest. As NO Strike has not asked me to speak on his
behalf ...like Bob (da Feeesh), Strike is big, bad & ugly enough to fight
his own battles .. but he must be ROTFLMAO about this one to be honest.

When Strike commented about "I have many folders on my desk. The only
ones relating to individuals are those people that I happen to be
writing about. They're all people who have made contributions to diving."
He was not talking about those who post on the net their 2c worth to scuba
lists ie when you gave him your opinion on the wings & harness you had
moved over to after seeing Mika wear one during the CozNedfest. You have
seriously misinterpreted that paragraph above. Strike keeps folders on
those he interviews, writes manuals & such for, people profiles for dive
mags, research for books, etc. You know... real experts ie pioneers of
diving, the technical revolution, wreck diving, deep-sea work, commerical
diving, treasure hunters, salvage crews, rescue divers, the navy, etc, etc.
How you think you would be included in that class is beyond comprehension.
Lee I think it is about time you took a deep breath for a serious reality
check and chill out.
No smileys as I think, sadly, someone had to say this as the Punch & Judy
shows are getting tiresome. You have right of reply of course but I will
not respond to this topic anymore as my last 2 posts were more than enough
to bore everyone so I move on to more interesting things.
