Hey Saunterer

To be so glad that you missed the post, I see that you have reconstituted
the entire thing somehow..  Why are you kind of glad?  You have the entire
post now..  Hello wannabe!

already seem to have proved everything to yourself & are now trying to prove
it to others... Guess what? Nobody cares... Get over it & move on with
life...


Don't get what?  For the life of me I don't remember mentioning your name
nor did I say that I meant to prove anything to others!  Just so you know, I
am moving on with life quite smoothly, thank you.

Kind of like you are doing right now Saunterer?  I must have misread the
beginning of your post where you said that you had missed reading it.  Also,
"pond scum," exactly what "culture" is it that the AT-L community embodies?



  I am a shelter maintainer (Adirondack High Peaks) and

I'm so happy for you that you maintain a shelter in the "dacks."  Sure hope
you don't quit.  Service to others can be quite fulfilling sometimes.

Sure wasn't much of a post saunterer; therefore I can't be bothered with you
anymore this evening...  Have a good one.  Hope your next three-day 22 mile
hike goes well....  ;)


Best
