[pct-l] 2006 anyone? - here come the questions!

[yogihikes at sbcglobal.net (yogi)]

Well, it's been a slow few months on PCT-L.  It 
seems like next year's hikers are emerging, and 
we will no doubt begin to see all of **THOSE** 
questions.  You old-time listers know what I'm 
talking about.  They're the questions that we've 
answered before . . . . the questions that always 
stir up controversy . . . . the questions that we 
hope will not start flame wars.
 
I propose that this time we keep it clean.  Let's 
answer the questions about bear canisters, dogs, 
bikes, etc., without all the craziness that usually 
follows.  Remember that the new listers don't know 
that their questions have been asked and answered 
(and answered, and answered, and answered) already.
 
If you're being sarcastic, use a smiley face :) or 
a wink ;).  This helps people interpret your tone.
 
Try to NOT respond when someone is obviously trying 
to stir up trouble.  There are certain topics and 
people who I simply will not respond to no matter 
what they write.  If someone's pushing your buttons, 
let it go.
 
Finally, once upon a time we ALL wondered what the 
answers to **THOSE** questions were.  Now that we've 
hiked the hike and formed our opinions, we should 
share our experience with those who don't know.
 
Looking forward to an interesting PCT-L winter!

up in 2 different ways in my inbox for some reason, so I didn't make the
connection. Everybody here is NOBO as far as I know. Let me know if I
missed somebody or if you want more information listed for you.
