HI
Just got back for the Ningaloo Reef cool place talk about outback!! dived in
lighthouse bay, the murion islands and of course the navy pier. The Islands
was disappointing as the viz was about .5m and the crew (exmouth Dive
Center) were so far upthemselves they had to put their wetsuits on inside
out!!! the only dive that I would recommend there is the Navy Pier they
(Coral Coast dive center) said when I booked on that it was one of the
worlds top 10 dive sites (I thought yer right I here that every place I
dive) they were not right... it should be number 1!!! I have never seen so
many fish over 240 tropical species from nudibrances to giant groupers and
sharks everywhere!! I will be coming back to do this dive again!!! The dive
crew were very professional and friendly the complete opposite to the other
bunch!! see www.ningalooreef.com and book it a truly awesome dive and dive
center thanks guys I'll be back soon

If you're really from the USA, why would you have a Bigpond email
address? And just a coincidence that the dive shop you're so happy
with also has their "contact us" form redirect to a bigpond.com
address? And the NNTP posting host for your post resolves to
"wel-adslrouter-2.wa-remote.bigpond.net.au", ie you're posting from a
Bigpond ADSL account in non-metro WA...not from Florida, USA.

This looks, smells and tastes like spam to me, and if it is then I
think the other business you've slandered should be taking legal
action for defamation. In fact, unless proven otherwise I will do my
best to avoid Coral Coast Dive in the future, and will recommend that
my friends and associates do likewise.

You know - he could have used someone else's account???

When I get travellers coming through my place that is exactly what they do,
and I even have a guest email account (ADSL) for them...

Pretty quick of the mark, you are mate...

Possibly, and if either the OP or Coral Coast Dive post here to
explain themselves then I'm happy to retract my accusation of spam.
Funnily enough, people are happy to whine about bad service on the
NGs, but glowing positive reviews are rare. So rare in fact that I
certainly make an initial assumption that they *may* be spam... But

This doesn't make any sense, and I assumed they made a typo and meant
"Just got back FROM the Ningaloo Reef ...". In this case, where were
did they get back TO? The USA perhaps, or so was the implication. But
they posted from Australia, specifically co7untry WA....

Back? Back from where? From the USA? And if so, why posting via a WA
country NNTP host?

This clearly implies he's posting from Florida.

Again, maybe I'm wrong. He might actually BE in Florida, and he's
ssh'd in to post through Tin on a server here in WA or something like
that, but it's not likely really. Especially since a quick scan of
google groups shows that the email address he used has never been used
before in an archived group, and the nic (cdd) doesn't turn up any
posts by "Mark", from Florida, related to diving etc etc.......Anyway,
if I am wrong, I'll happily apologise to those involved, but as I said
in my previous post, it looks, smells and tastes like spam.

LOL...you *can* get vegitarian spam. It's called "tofu luncheon".
Horrible, possibly worse than spam. A better option is vegitarian
turkey - "tofurkey". Not much better though.
