Oh come on, she makes a small profit on these books.  She then uses most
of it, I WOULD BET, to be able to do further thru-hikes in the future.  She only
works about 6-7 months of the year and then hikes a trail again.  Yogi, are you
listening, Charge More!  I, and many other people would be glad to pay it!

Jackie, your concern for the well-being of 'the list' is noted and appreciated.

On that note maybe you can take a moment to further it's well being by letting
us know "Who criticized you 'this time' and in what way?" 

Don't stir up problems by making accusations, then deny the responsibility to
your statements.

Also, can you clarify on the following: you tell your customers you're not in it 
for the money when it suits you, then say you are when it suits you. 

Which is it?

Who criticized you 'this time' and in what way?

Yogi, in your own words to your customers you stated:

> "Yogi's PCT Handbook" is not a money-maker. I break even. I did not write my book to make
> money off of PCT Hikers. I did this to make planning/hiking the PCT easier for hikers.

In case your comprehension level dipped off the first time, the suggestion was to make it into a
.pdf file and put it on your web page. Since you "did not write the book to make money off of PCT
hikers" it only makes sense.

These are YOUR words, not mine, not the evil criticizer's....YOURS. You said them, no one else.

The suggestion was meant in the spirit of saving time, money and resources for all.

If you're upset, you should be upset at yourself for not keeping your story straight with different
audiences.

Scott
