Re: [Texascavers] TCR Caver Storytelling Contest

[Logan]

Excellent Idea! We should have been doing that for years. The 3 minute 
rule is understandable, but there are many memorable stories that won't 
be told using that time frame.

Re: [Texascavers] Bill Steele Saw The Truth

[Bruce]

Not a conspiracy theory, I really have heard people say I’m not a real caver, 
it was just a comment on the in group out group social dynamics typical of all 
special interest groups no matter how small. Nonetheless, I remain confused 
(about a lot of things!). I still don’t know if my posts from Peru made it out 
of cyber perdition to the list at large for I certainly haven’t seen them. 
Perhaps that is due to the method of delivery I have chosen? (Digest I think?) 
I still don’t know why I invariably get a message in return stating that my 
post awaits moderation, perhaps something to do with implicit destination 
whatever that means? It is my usual practice to send the post to myself then 
BCC the list and any other interested friends. Despite my efforts to wean 
myself from the evils of AOL I believe I have used a registered AOL address on 
all submissions. Am I wrong? Did I change my registered address? Por favor, 
someone set me straight!

I have heard it said many times, both to my face and otherwise, that “The so 
called Weazel isn’t a ‘real’ caver”. It is true that I generally dislike cold, 
wet, muddy, dark places, have never surveyed an inch, and have an unconquerable 
terror of heights including exposure to anything over 18 inches below where I 
am standing. I prefer not to participate in anything resembling an organized 
trip, much less an official expedition, and I rarely if ever go to grotto 
meetings. In fact, I’m not even a current member of any grotto, especially the 
ones here in Florida that resemble a cross between a boy scout troop and a 
church group.  The fact that during the last 55 years (I started when I was 15 
or so) I have visited many hundreds of pits and thousands of caves around the 
world apparently doesn’t count. As in politics, the only thing that counts is 
whether or not you are a member of ‘MY’ group, otherwise you are an imposter or 
one of ‘them the others’.

Ps: While in Peru for the last two months I sent several trip reports to this 
list but have no idea if any of them made it through. All I have ever gotten 
was a notification that “This post awaits moderator approval” or something to 
that effect. The lack of echoes makes me think I have just been shouting in the 
dark to no effect. Am I the new David? Have my posts gone through or have they 
been rejected as coming from someone who isn’t a ‘real’ caver?

Yep, I think many of us have had that experience. Mention caving and listen to 
a long description of their harrowing adventures at Enchanted Rock, Garner 
State Park, or Gorman Cave back when it was privately owned and open to 
everyone. Amazing how many "undiscovered" caves there are out there with 
"miles' of passage that cavers have never seen. Sure, there are some, but not 
the ones these folks describe.

Bill is exactly right.  It’s an inconvenient truth that you are allowed to 
characterize yourself as a caver despite only minimal, sometimes miniscule, 
participation in that activity.  Seen from another viewpoint, those peripheral 
experiences may have been powerful enough to last a lifetime.  I have 
encountered the same things/memories/claims as Bill.  It IS very much an 
individual frame of reference.

In my 42 years of living in Texas I have run into two people who said their 
fathers were cavers and when I later met the fathers it turned out they went to 
Bustamante (Grutas del Palmito) once when in college. It comes down to your 
point of reference.
