Thanks Postholer, explanation much appreciated.
For a dirty rotten scoundrel, you seem like a pretty good guy. That being said, I think your figures
may be slightly misstate in regards to the PCT-L traffic. Also, I suspect that the traffic generated on
Postholer.com is primarily driven by Journal readers, which, either way, makes no difference to me
since I believe Postholer.com is a fantastic site offering a real value to the hiking community at large.
Your labor of love in providing it - free of charge to all – is much appreciated. Thank you.

My best guess is the PCT-L is actively read (not subscribed) by about
300 people a day. By contrast, the postholer site has thousands of
unique visitors daily logging many, many thousands of page views (not
hits) daily. You, the good folks of the PCT-L community dispensing
fantastic advice, have been introduced to a another community who is
unaware of your existence.
We can bicker about our little fiefdoms all day long. At the end of
the day it's about creating awareness of the PCT, period. This is
another means of doing just that and it's a good one. Not only do the
2 unique entities still retain their identity, they loosely combine
for a larger presence. No fragmentation here, quite the opposite.
Wes, I sincerely appreciate your comments. As a webmaster the 'smart'
play would have been the path of objectivity. As a commercial venture
that would have been my play. As a human and a hiker, subjectivity was
the only path. I will not allow Ned or anyone else to encourage the
average hiker to enter terrain that even Ned and his group bailed on,
especially using postholer.com resources. It's plainly irresponsible.
