Corky, I will not opt out for fear of missing something worthwhile, maybe even caving related. I do use my delete key on some subjects or on a repetitive caver (myself excluded). Don't leave as we need you, assuming that you are a dues paying member. As an alternative you could start your own web site for like-minded individuals.

Ditto! What is the unsubscribe link? I cannot believe a person from the grotto I helped create could spew such venom and hate. My daughter wonders why I will not take her to the meetings. I can show her one of the reasons now in black and white. You do not have to believe in God to follow the teachings of Jesus. Especially the part about everyone getting along with each other. Goodbye to all my friends and acquaintances, and good riddance to the rest of you.
