[pct-l] Too Many People

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

2 or 3 on a given topic?  Have you reached your limit yet?  My goodness, it seems like you have already broken Switchbacks post record from last year and we are not even in February yet :).  When is your start date?  No doubt your journal will be enjoyable though once you hit the trail!  Have fun!

Radar, 

IMO anything that has to do with wilderness, backcountry, hiking, bears, etc., is not OT.  That includes over-population (discussions).  I am sad that you don't see it as relevant.  Perhaps we'll wind up like other countries that only allow backcountry travel by permit, and only so many people out on the trail at aany given time.  That may be a good thing, who knows.  I do try to limit myself to 2 or 3 at the most, responses to these posts.  I think this discussion is worthy of those posts and I'm sorry you won't read this, but respect your right to your opinion.

When I read these type of messages I go through these stages:

1) start writing a rebuttal
2) start writing a complaint about off topic postings
3) just delete the message and move on
4) realize that they will never stop if I go with 3
5) realize that they will never stop if I go with 2
6) realize that they will never stop if I go with 1

Sigh.

I disagree.
It is off topic.
I'm deleting any more messages in this thread.
