"Do my Dacron lines perhaps generate more heat than the newfangled types?" Correct. Also, PD says not to use Slinks on long lines (tandem canopies, student canopies) because of heat generation (regardless of line material). .

worth a listen -

Georger, I am actually surprised that you would finally reveal something like the above! Is there anything else you would like to get off your mind?

I've experienced this (15 years ago) with a 120 canopy loaded 2.1. The field level was 4500'. Openings were fast and the mini risers were getting shiny then eventually crunchy on the upper surfaces. Lines were HMA

That has been Schreuder's and other agents position all along. I wonder how Geof Gray missed this - he apparently never talked to the agents who were there ? DS told Bruce there were 'thousands' of fragments. Bruce minimized it saying how many ever frags there were they were all confined to the area around the Ingram find and on the surface. TK has always been reluctant to confirm there were any actual fragments of any important nature? Ulis says the few frags there were were brought on the soles of people's shoes to holes 3ft deep! ...................... the irony of all of this for me is: dredging has always been the most elegant solution and Dorwin has always favored the theory based on what he and others found and saw with their own two eyes. ("we left thousands of chopped up fragments of money in the sand there ... etc etc etc.) ! Its simple. Direct 1:1 causation. I have said for decades, the real problem is: how in blazes did the money bag get in the bottom spoils to begin with to be dredged up accidentally later. All of that said, I dont expect anyone will change their positions on this. I expect the debate to plod along forever. And, there are a few people who still are convinced there is more to be found at Tina Bar - a few still search there from time to time. What I miss is that Palmer didnt acknowledge and deal with the issue of fragments better. Had he done that the issue could have been settled clear back in 1980 and we might not be having these discussions at all. I firmly believe that and so do the agents I speak with. It is what it is, in any event. How many agents worked at the dig? 12-16 or more? Dorwin was just the one we cite today. There were others who had opinions based on what they saw firsthand. Nobody ever polled these men and women, to get a consensus after the fact.

I really do think you have over reacted to this thread. Yes some people should have toned it down etc etc. And guys like Hooper should not have bothered with with his opinions, (I meet him in 79 in Florida and I respect him) which I felt were at best baiting people who were here and truly intrested in that particular thread. I know I enjoyed reading it every day. I think a strong warning to people like Hooper and some other, and possibly a couple short term bans would have been a more appropriate response then Killing the whole thread. This is not a personal attack on you or any one else, but I feel you done us wrong Quade. Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI
