From the for what it's worth department:
I wish it were possible for for everyone to look at the Rosinco issue in a more abstract way for just a moment. There are a few issues that seem to get lost in the shuffle of healthy discussion. Some of these are:
The wreck is deep, around 200 feet. Not a likely site for a public preserve.
Discovered around 20 years ago, and countless dives later, there is simply not allot left worth removing.
It is unlikely the DNR would police or inventory this site because of its depth.
Could it be that tax dollars could be better spent on locating new wrecks, or providing buoys on known wrecks ? I think most people in this discussion could agree on one thing, and that is that excessive government involvement in our hobby is not always a welcome thing. It would be my guess that if Mr.. Ehorn's case is not overturned, divers would be able to visit the site as before after all this dust settles.
I just hate to see all this money funneled into some legal professional's Porsche instead of using it out there on the lake where all the diving public could benefit.
Just opinions, that's all.
