  To recap an important point:  Skydiving *did* contact all 
parties concerned before printing the article on Cynthia 
Holmes' reserve cutaway.  I think Skydiving has more 
professionalism than to quote something second- or third-
hand without getting the facts from the source. 

To the others who commented on Dan's comments: 
    Please, let's not blow this out of proportion. 
Skydiving is a jumper oriented newspaper, written, edited
and published by skydivers. They are on "our" side.  
    They report on a lot of things that don't get mentioned in 
PARACHUTIST.  They seem to be more timely in reporting
things than PARACHUTIST too.
    To paraphrase what someone else wrote recently: If you want
to keep something a secret, don't post it in a newsgroup.
