[at-l] AT-L Outside

[kahley7@ptd.net (kahley7)]

If anyone was deleting the China posts you may have missed the announcement.
If you click thru now, you will see I have changed the wording to make it clear
that AT-L is where real trail talk happens and AT-L Take It Outside is the steam relief valve.
I hope no one is offended.  I did send invitations to some of the people involved in 
the China thang.  Please don't sue <g> or report me as a spammer <aaaarrrggghh>

What an excellent idea!!!!! (in more ways than one<g>)
And to that end, i have started a Yaahoo group titled
AT-L Take It Outside
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ATLoutside

The charter says:

To provide a venue for the continuation of off-topic arguments
                 on at-l. Despite our sometimes less than best efforts to 
                 keep AT-L a trail related forum, we occasionally get wound
                 up in current events. This is where we take the arguments
                 if they extend for more than 24hrs. OK? The disagreements
                 are valid as are the issues....just not appropriate for AT-L.
                 Join and let fly.... 

As a frequent participant, I chafe at shutting up about this stuff cause I
am passionate and opinionated and basically don't mind occasional
verbal brawls.  

BUT.....these barroom brawls can get messy and leave a lot of broken glass
around the campfire so it seems like a good idea to take it elsewhere.

Anyone can join.....you can get every message or a digest or read it from the web
