Some use the devices to send journals, others to keep in touch with family
and friends.
However, I agree, what's the need of a hiking list on the trail, when you're
out hiking? Unless you have a satellite phone with a pocketmail, the
information is going to be days old anyway. It would be kind of foolish to
depend on a water stash, that's not there two days later.
For the few that would use it, it would be easy enough to set up a group
mailing list between each other whether you used a pocketmail or a web based
email. I wouldn't think the traffic would be so heavy you'd need moderators.
