Take it with a dose of salt, of course, however this specific advice has been 
discussed extensively on this list and therefore is still current and 
appropriate.  There is nothing in his discussion that is ill-conceived or offbase in 
my opinion.  It is a bit like comparing that which you experience by walking 
versus going by car; it is simply put that the faster you go the less you see, 
experience, hear, see, smell, etc.  I'm certainly not one to preach this as I 
was one of the fastest hikers in my year, but perhaps I am reformed now in my 
older years when I can't hike nearly so fast! ;-)
