Greetings AT-listers!

It is I, Tin Can Stove Man, the most powerful superhero the hiking world has 
ever known! It has come to my attention that an unknown lister has revealed 
me and my services to the Appalachian Trail Community, and I wanted to take 
this opportunity to introduce myself in person!!

>From my secret sanctum sanctorium on the outer moon of Neptune, I have heard 
pitiful cries of distress from hapless hikers planning their 2001 thru hike 
of the Appalachian Trail!! In vain, they grunt, straining their tired 
muscles as they attempt to lift their heavy, expensive, corporate, 
gasoline-burning camp stoves! They gnash their teeth and rend their garments 
in frustration as the jet from their MSR Whisperlite once again clogs up, 
forcing them to dine on cold crunchy noodles!!!   "There has to be a better 
way!!!!!"  they wail!!! Tin Can
Stove Man feels your pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaaargh the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friends, there is a BETTER WAY!!!! Tin Can Stove Man can help you to see 
the light and that light is the warm blue
flame of a smoothly purring, light weight tin can stove and it is good!!!!! 
The tin can stove is the answer, the way, the
truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It is patented by nobody!! it costs nothing!! it 
weighs nothing!! (weighs in at the amazing weight of 0.4 ounces) it looks 
groovy!!!!!!
And it can be yours for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that's right!!! For the low, low price of $00.00, you can be the proud 
owner of a brand new stove!!! You can be the envy
of your friends and neighbors!!!!!!  Potential sexual partners of the 
appropriate gender and sexual orientation will flock to you in
droves!!!!!!  Tin Can Stove Man knows that some of you are planning on 
starting your 2001 thru-hike with a heavy (aargh!!)
complicated (ug!!!), ugly (ooo!!!), expensive (yuk!!) corporate stove!!! He 
knows from painful experience the heartbreak and
consternation that such a decision can bring, and wants to help you avoid 
the mistakes he made!!!  So here's what you can do:

Send an email to tincanstoveman@hotmail.com  and give him your snail mail 
address.  Using his amazing superpowers, he will
assemble a custom-made tin-can stove and send it to you, along with 
instructions for its care and feeding, for ABSOLUTELY
FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tin Can Stove Man does this as a service to the 
thru-hiking community and asks nothing in return except
for the satisfaction of knowing that he has prevented the fear and loathing 
that can result from bringing (gasp!) THE WRONG
STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Everyone who writes will get an amazing Tin 
Can Stove, but those who are thru-hiking THIS YEAR are in
SPECIAL DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so they will have top 
priority in receiving their stoves.  Please let me know if you are about to 
begin a thru-hike, especially if you will be heading out soon!!!

Go ahead punk, let TIN CAN STOVE MAN make your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Accept 
nothing less than the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Up, up, and aflame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
