Joe, I too found the message to be void of bias, but equally interesting were the opinions that followed by persons who read this article. It might be to his best interest to read these and pursue a self evaluation. The input provided by that person that went aboard his boat was quite damning in the area of his treatment of his human passengers. Had this input been of a good nature and instead compliment his spirit of adventure and willingness to share this rarely seen world below the waves with others, this would have been the best promotion of all. It may be that He enjoys his solitude alone with the creatures of the sea and is more at ease with them than with interacting with other people...We humans can sure be hard to get along with. Not a public relations expert by any means, but perhaps He could "put on a face" so to speak to help to increase support for the goals He sees as important. He has really done quite well and I applaud his accomplishments.

The author, did a good job of providing various points of view without bias (Professional journalism). He gives a nod to what he personally thinks about Karl at the end...... ".....Whatever the complications of his life topside, down here in the watery darkness Stanley belongs to that rarest of species: a grown man living the life he dreamed of as a boy...." I looked up Pleurotomariidae quickly, and find that equally interesting. Gutsy fellow to be scraping around in the dark like that! Thanks for posting Ian.
