[pct-l] "Business"

[Andrea Dinsmore]

I see a personal concern coming out of this "legal" or not legal
discussion. If trail angels are sucked into this and there is some lawyer
snooping around looking into the profit or non profit status......most home
trail angels are not in a "business" area and would end up being closed
down and handed a heavy fine for running a "business".  All we need is big
brother running our personal lives with the hikers. So you all need to make
a decision.......keep trying to get the "goods" on all of us that are not a
licensed business or a listed non profit........ it will get screwed up for
all the upcoming years for the hikers.  We home angels are no different
from the Mt. Education people. We also try and educate the hikers before
they go into the snowy mountains.  Keep screwing with them and it will
filter down to us. I know this is going to piss off some folks.......but
that's too damn bad.
