Bob, Your points are well taken. A very few cavers don't care much what other cavers think of them. I am not one of them. I have said things that I regret but don't think that I have ever criticized an individual, group or the job that they are doing.
Criticism, constructive or otherwise, should be directed to the individual and not put on the open forum. The world is reading this stuff and it is damaging to the image of Texas cavers.

I have a delete button just like everyone else and I use it quite a bit. Just how many people subscribe to cavetex??? How many people write stuff on cavetex (not that many) ? How many people complain(really not that many as to compared to how many subscribe I bet) ? How many people really care? What really concerns me is how we as a group is perceived by folks that are cavers from other areas states,countries , land owners etc etc Do you get my drift. Contrary to popular belief we are not a private forum, we are very much a public forum(anyone can subscribe).When you trash someones Volunteer efforts,religious beliefs etc etc what does that have to say about the organization as a whole.Remember something the person you pi-- off today could be rigging your pit tomorrow. He/she could be helping you to get out of a cave after an injury,maybe going for gas or another tire. do you all understand PLAY NICE or go some where else. Stop pushing folks button!!
