No, I'm not Brad. I live in Morgan Hill, CA,
just south of San Jose. Brad lives down there in
smogland somewhere. You can see a picture
of me at http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet/

Random probability says the records will continue
to go up until the species crashes. There will
still be a few big ones that haven't been found.
But the hunters will still be removing many of
the best and brightest.

There have been substantial successess with
reserves in New Zealand and right here in
California at Pt. Lobos. The portion of Pt. Lobos
that is open to diving is one of the most heavily
dived areas in the Monterey area, and it is NOT
"hammered".
