[pct-l] Trimming messages....this will be my last complaint

[marmot marmot]

I do not understand this sort of mean spirited comment. Thank you Diane for all you do to try and help other hikers   What is going on here? I thought the point of the list was to offer suggestions and chat about what we all love to do,with room and support for all input. Marmot

That it is a case of the blind misleading the blind​ on about 15% of her posts which make up about 90% of the word count on the list.  She has some valid points but sifting through a senior thesis to find out her opinion on hitch hiking as a man is BOOOOORING and useless.  Because unless I am wrong she is a woman.  Meet her in person and she is a wall flower and doesn't say a word.  Put her behind the keyboard, and she is the end all be all of sage hiking advice.  Whether it is conjecture or experience it isn't worth sifting through the word count.
