It is easy to say things with out thinking - I have and do it often

  Sorry, I was not intending to discredit anyone.  Maybe
you're not really an ex-caver as long as you remain a caver at heart,
especially if you have a physical limitation.  That hadn't occurred to
me.  We all become arm-chair cavers someday, if we live that long.

Thank you Louise for defending disabled cavers - me for one. I would rather be 
crawling but sure can not do any more. I miss it very much and this list sure 
helps.

  Those are more popularly known as armchair cavers.  :-)

  In other words, non-cavers or ex-cavers.  Sad.
