### Sloetoe notes a rather blanket statement by Ron.
### Sloetoe notes that just in calender 2000, he hiked the Smokys AT 1.5
times. (And sure, has been generally all over the northeast end of the
park multiple times).
### Sloetoe further notes that he has never seen a need (nor does he
*expect* a need) for a water filter for the AT/environs.
### Sloetoe notes a different life experience from Ron; warning to others.

(who recalls that referring to onesownself in the thirdtype person is a
not-uncommon sign of major psychopathology. Hmmmmm? What was he thinking?)
