[pct-l] Flamed - List Admin Note.

[Brick Robbins <brick@fastpack.com>]

I re-read  <Bighummel@aol.com>'s (Strider's) post pretty closely from a 
list-admin point of view and I did not see a flame. There were two 
statements that might have caused hurt feelings if taken the wrong way

==1==
  <<I don't know your experience with snow and how comfortable with hiking 
in it you are.>>

I think Strider was simply stating that he doesn't know Will, not trying to 
imply Will isn't experienced (which he is).

==2==
<<Similarly, if you, yes you on the list, are not comfortable, capable,
equipped for and mentally prepared for a late spring storm, then you
shouldn't be anywhere Kennedy Mdws right now either.  >>

This, upon close reading, is a statement directed at the list members, not 
at Will at all. I also think it is common sence...

This looks like a disagreement in facts and opinions, not a personal 
attack. I am admittedly not free from bias, as I just spent time with 
Strider at the ADZ and am probably influenced by the memories of his 
pleasant demeanor there, but the post in question didn't even register on 
my flame-o-meter when I first read it.

This list has been pretty free from flames since September, let's keep it 
that way. Dissenting opinions are encouraged, but remember that all 
statements are open for rebuttal.

Lets all try and remember we're on the same team.
