I agree with Felix to a certain extent.  Casting judgement is sorta like
cast iron or maybe the situation in the Middle East with that fellow that
goes around with a dishtowel wrapped around his head.

Like Felix, I too watched a friend go through this thing and I must tell you
that it wasn't pretty!  Actually it was kinda fugly.  I say that we all sit
down and walk a mile in other's shoes before we start reading some of the
things that are said here.  The world will little note nor long remember
what.............

Fecux is not asking too much in trying to draw our attention away from
lightweight backpacking in order that we become more well-rounded.  Indeed,
he is one of those thousand-points-of-light that those who adopt-a-highway
are called by the creator.
