[at-l] WF, et al

> HI all,
>
> 1.  I have already read the archives.  One time a while back, WF mentioned
> something that was going on at "another list" concerning him or TP.  I
went
> into the archives and searched for posts concerning him and in the process
> read quite a bit.  I found very little being discussed about the WF, TP
and
> the trail.  I was a regular subscriber back last summer and signed off due
> to a lack of real content concerning the trail.  I also signed off of ATML
> due to the unending discussions about subjects that may have been trail
> related, but never seemed to end (guns, cell phones, AMC, etc).
>
> 2.  I am leaving in 17 days and this fact is paramount in my head.  There
is
> very little room for anything else.  The only reason I am involved in this
> is because of a post the someone made on ATML (I still read the archives)
> concerning his filter.  I wanted to find out if it was true that some
> people's names are being filtered.  I tested it and found that they
weren't.
> Had they been, I would have been out of there and setting up my journal
> elsewhere.  I wanted to report the facts here on AT-L.
>
> 3.  I don't agree with everything WF or TP says or stands for.  Not having
> been there, I don't know what to think about AMC or cell phones or
whatever.
> I am sure that by the time I have finished I will have formed opinions on
my

will
> then find out what will happen to me on TP.

> 4.  I said I was disappointed in you yesterday.  I didn't realize that you
> were all just kidding around.  Emotions are hard to read in a forum like
> this.  However, I would think that there are better things to talk about.
> There are quite a few people who are getting ready to leave for the trail
as
> well as those who have already left.  Why not use the space to talk about
> constructive issues rather than keeping the fires stirred and spreading
> rumors and innuendo.  I don't  see the purpose.  My apologies to those who

> 5.  I signed on to this list yesterday to see what was being said
pertaining
> to this subject.  I will be signing back off to go back to my thoughts
about
> my impending thru-hike.  I don't intend to take part in any trail
politics.
> All of this will be erased from my memory immediately (I only have 4k up
> there anyway...lol)!  The hike is the thing!  Nothing else matters.
