Just to be aware, there is another posting on BLiN:

Please jumpers, BE AWARE of what you do for media attention. 5 seconds of interview time could mean years of negative advertisement for the WHOLE COMMUNITY.

Heck, imaging if this guy writes a story on death as he is proposing. Imagine the L. Valley becoming Yosemite!!!!

Trust me, worse things have happened that that from a simple news article.

Why would a journalist from a tabloid want images for an article in a cheap sunday paper? How would he know, and be able to name the 'High Nose.'

Me thinks another poorly written and sensational article on base and associated accidents is in the focus here.....

Avoid like the plague and treat like a leper....

cya!

Regarding the comments in reply to my post; hopefully other people in the community will be more open minded.

Assuming all journalists are the same is a bit like saying all base jumpers are crazy nutters. Im pretty sure thats not the case. But I guess prejudice can exist in the unlikeliest of places.

For Neil Jarvis; Leprosy affectst the poorest people on this earth so its a strange sense of humour you have. Check it out;
