[pct-l] Excessive Information Gathering on Hikers

[Postholer]

Today's hikers have many options for making their information public, if 
THEY choose to do so.

There seems to be a rash of 'concerned' individuals collecting information 
on hikers, when they clearly should not. Knowing the where-a-bouts of hikers 
along the trail because YOU need to know is not a valid reason for 
collecting this information.

This 'caring, helpful' trail supporter mentality can actually have the 
opposite effect, such as, calling search & rescue because YOU'RE concerned. 
Not because THE HIKERS require it.

Communicating hiker information to the public is WRONG and NOT YOUR PLACE. 
In the future, please think twice before you act.
