Well, it's a touchy topic.  Can't say that it gives you the right to 
grossly impinge on others.  Example: carrying on and having a party frame 
of mind in the shelters would be overboard.  But if you set up your bivy 
off the trail by your lonesome somewhere, then if you smoked a joint or 
made a c*** p**** call, then it's really your own business.

Lots of other things, like getting picked up by a limo at road-crossings at 
the end of the day, or carrying a chainsaw or a tuba with you.  Or hiking 
barefoot.  All are subjects of admiration or wonder and should be 
acknowledged with an understated "Wow..."
