[pct-l] History of Backpacking

[chiefcowboy at verizon.net]

Perhaps it is time to take another look at whether these posts are 
appropriate or not.  We, in the normal course of discussion, find ourselves 
in enough minor conflicts of opinion as to whether to filter or not, to 
carry a stove or not, etc. that we certainly don't need to post anything 
that could be considered a personal attack on an individual's beliefs.  At 
times the exchanges appear to be between two individuals only and with out 
relevance to the others reading (or lurking) the list so it might be more 
appropriate to take their private discussions to another format - ie 
personal e-mail.

I know that Brick doesn't want this to become a political forum and allows a 
certain amount of dissention  between posters, but there comes a point when 
one must ask "What does this really have to do with the PCT, the PCTA, 
hiking. etc.

Just my thoughts.

I wholeheartedly agree with Shon and Yogi!
If there was a vote to remove him from the list, mine would be "Aye"...

I do not receive list emails/digests, but 'browse' the current month's 
archive...
In doing so I bypass certain specific posters or topics in the process - but
when some others 'reply' to those postings, I sometimes take a peek to see 
what's
going on (or 'down' in this case)...
Many times I feel sorry for those people seeking PCT information on the 
pct-l in
having to put up with certain posters and their mostly off-topic "diatribe" 
or to
receive a 'joke' as a response to what would be considered an important 
question...
Enough said!

Happy trails!!!
