[pct-l] purity

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

Oh, I don't know....obsessivist seems pretty accurate to me....   ;o)

It's just a really nice, enjoyable, long walk, not a religion.....

All that said, I do think the terms could use renovation. I'd rather not say
I am a pure hiker - that part is BS. I'd rather have something less biased,
like a "completionist" or "100%-ist" or something, though that would make
everybody else a non-completionist...that doesn't work...maybe an
"obsessivist?" No, that term doesn't really work either, cause not all
"purists" are actually obsessed. Huh. Perhaps the best way to say it is,
somebody who'd rather not skip trail along the way.
