I didn't realize that the PCT list was maintained out of someone's home.  I'm
afraid I'm generally ignorant of what goes on "under the covers" to make this
list happen.  But I certainly do appreciate this list as a wonderful resource
for information about the trail.

Perhaps you could post a short explaination of the nuts and bolts of how the
list functions?

Thank you, Ryan, for your efforts to keep the list going.
