I send in articles every issue. I have lots more, but I assume you all want some diversity in the Texas Caver instead of just articles written by me. Ah, who am I kidding? My articles are incredibly witty and intelligent and thought-provoking, so of course everyone wants the entire Texas Caver dedicated to just me.
Why would anyone want to hear about Wade McDaniel's TWO separate tire blowouts on the way to Deep & Punkin? Or the NSS Convention? Or caving at NSS, like when Aaron Polsky's light fell off at the top of Fantastic Pit, illuminating the drop as it spun down, down, down 586 feet. It fell so long that people had whole conversations while it was falling. It finally went out when it hit the bottom, but when retrieved, still worked! Why would anyone want to hear about that? Much better I write more articles about how a semi-round is NOT called a D biner! Those two different things, people! They are NOT interchangeable! If you need the biner/screwlink for your Frog harness, you need a SEMI-ROUND. A D biner is completely different and WILL NOT WORK! Get it right, you idiots! Arrrrgh!

When I was the Editor, I was dismayed (and somewhat confused) by the fact that folks didn't realize that their article could be printed in BOTH publications. Not all TSA members are NNS members and vice versa. Since these are the dog days of summer and caving in the state, this may be a good time to talk about the state of the TC and the TSA. Personally, I'm worried about a long and slow death of the TSA, mainly due to apathy and social networking. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Y'all's thoughts?
