Don't forget, that's Linsey aka Lollygag.  I prefer to keep my trailname mud, it keeps other's from using it.  
Takes one to know one...

You are being bitchy.  I never said I spoke for all Trail Angels.  However, from now on I will ask all sobo section hikers what their names are.  If a hiker turns out to be Linsey, then that hiker won't be welcome.  This will be the first time I deny Trail
 Magic.  Maybe it was your attitude, not your sobo or section hiking status which got you denied the other times.

Live long and prosper, asshole.

Your defensiveness is misplaced considering your grammatical errors so I suspect that it is your hormonal time of the month.  It certainly is mine...

If you were speaking only for yourself, then why did you say, "those of us"?!
