Spelunkers - people who go underground
Cavers - people who stay underground
Hole Snobs - people who care what other people think about them because they go underground.

Really? I think it's brilliant. Not to mention succinct. It has fewer syllables than "stuffy grotto members".

Yes indeedy, and in my very first post. Of course, this was a result of my having been entirely ignored by at least a dozen folks that I emailed for help, and the reception of a dismissive and insulting response by one lofty individual.

Also, I assume that there must be an entire group of Hole snobs to warrant a diagnosis of SGS, so your syndrome is entirely dependent on my symptom.

Now I just hunt for caves for other to enjoy. I guess I am now a Surface Dweller. I think that is where I started in life. I must have come full circle. But I truly love hunting for new caves!
