I've been to two of these demos. I paid nothing, I got the use of some rental gear and some equipment fixes. There is an order of magnitude in difference between discover scuba and these events. More can be accomplished in an hour of face time than weeks on this board. When people leave, they still have the mental powers to embrace or reject. Clearly you did the latter.
Most of the targetted audience is never going to take Tech I or Cave. They might take the Fundamentals Course, though I'm not sure how that's a bad thing. Consider it an AOW course on steroids.
I'll agree with you with one point - if JW or one of the others can't fill a paid class, they shouldn't be posting repeatedly to do so. But you're seeking to go much further than that in your battle.
