i truely enjoy the list. it is jsut a collection of people with similar
interests talkgin about this interest among other things. i think the name
of the list might be a little off... the list is not limited only to the AT.
for example CDT-l is almost entirely dead all the time. but i must say when
it does have messages they are always on topic.  maybe the list should be
renamed cf-l  (ie campfire list). but that is prolly to much work and
trouble. and the at-l is making a name for itself hehehe.  and it is on the
interent after all, if you dont like it go some where else the interenet is
plenty big enough for it. and if you can nto find something you like well
then make your own.

i agree with both points of veiw therefore and figure if you dont like it
leave and if you like it add to the mix.

and i truely agree that almost anything (almost) can be trail related in
some small incedental way.
