[at-l] at a loss but answering

	Yo,

	Since you stated that you were hesitant about speaking your mind here.
And the fact that I felt your post was very appropriate. Or maybe its
because this middle aged man just had a couple of gin and tonics! Anyway
I started rambling....

	I hope everyone feels free to post their feelings on hiker topics such
as this or any other topic that is hiker related. I know I feel free to
post my mind on topics even if my thoughts are not the same as what
seems to be the majority or popular way. I also invite people to post if
they disagree with what I do or believe. Often I find that some tactful
disagreement will enlighten me to others view point. I may not change my
view point but will understand yours better.:-)
	With email it is sometimes hard (especially for us without silver
tongues or fingers) to express a thought in a way that is not going to
be misinterpreted by at least a few of our many hundred readers.

you can please some of the people part of the time
you can't please all of the people all of the time
You can be in my dream if I can be in yours
