This email account subscribed to PCT-L on 29 October, and has never
previously posted nor subscribed. This is a lie

This is another lie. The only restrictions to posting have been on NEW
subscribers who's apparent intention is to troll or hijack this list.

PCT-L stated purpose is to discuss pedestrian and equestrian use of
the PCT. IMBA propaganda is not welcome here

PCT-L has NEVER been a forum for disseminating IMBA propaganda, just
like the PCT was never intended to be a bicycle trail.

Playing the victim will get you little here.

The IMBA plan to open the PCT and Wilderness Areas to Bicycles is
crafted by some pretty creative lawyers, one of whom works for the
California Supreme Court as a staff lawyer. I assume that posts like
this one were carefully crafted with a specific purpose in mind.
