[at-l] Pole damage

Sly's was not a "frivilous opinion".  He's had lots and lots of experience.
In many cases, we offer well considered opinions that just don't happen to
coincide with the opinions of others on the list.  We still have the right
to express these opinions without being ridiculed.  anklebear

   Where do you draw the line? A wise trail concerned person would see the
writing on the rocks so- to speak. Crampons are for winter when they are
needed. Obvious apparent scratches in the rocks are telling you something is
happening further down. Frivilous opinions do nothing to help the problem.
It
is only an excuse to do nothing and not have to react, which is always the
easiest way...

     A wise Trail gnome once said to me in a moment of quiet AT ledge
contemplation - "where you see damage, damage is happening..."

    It would be more helpful for the Trail to just use the tips...
