Bamaboy,

You obviously don't understand the mentality of our captains. Actually, when Ranger posted his comments, I felt exactly the same as you. It was in rather poor taste to assume that someone actually wanted to be removed from a trip, but thankfully it did work out fine, as it probably would have in the vast majority of cases. However, you are correct in that it's not something that should be done, by anyone. Captains included!
