That is not what you wrote.

I quote:  No other complaints,  Sly  : )


I find that most people who run across cell phones in backcountry even when
they are whispering, complain.  Seems things are always louder when someone
sees someone else using a cellphone.  No? ;-)

Very subjective issue as one does not complain if two people are talking loudly
next to you.. Phone call only lasts little while, no sense complaining jsut
move down trail.

People are complaining
unfairly and giving cell phone users bad rap.  Common sense not involved if you
have to evacuate someone who fell becasue rope or pro broke. Cell phones
are lifesavers.  Usually those who do not have them complain the "loudest"

End of thread. I f you want to respond,  lets take it off list.
