Most of course lurk, move in/out, and then go on to lead normal happy lives, dropping in on occassion to visit the insanity that we've all grown to love. Then of course, there's the whos'who list. For those new to rec.scuba, let me help you out with a few of the rec.scuba "who's who". The top 50 roast, err, I mean list, in no particular order, is as follows: Well we still have MHK, Dan Volker and Scott....the three musketeers' epitome of the DIR right wing helium religion swine, and all around nice guys, even if they don't know how to secure their long hoses' properly. Then there's Mike Gray AKA El Stroko Guapo very very handsome, deep air left wing anti-christ of the helium religion. Jammer - His Royal Highness (HRH).
