[at-l] Re. The ethics of snoring....

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

Remember "loud snoring" is in the ear of the beholder.  

Once when a bunch of us were crashing at a con, we were worried about one
friend whose wife complained that he was a "loud snorer".  She also said she
never snored.  We never heard him, but we had to wake her up because no-one
could sleep with her vocalizations.

I still think it's best to ask before everyone gets down to sleep if anyone
snores.  And if you're awake from their snoring, it might be better to just
move out than to start a loud, upsetting argument over their snoring.

Or, you can always smear them with some honey and hike down to the next camp
site. ;-)

	Ya'know, Jack, if everyone with irritating habits followed your
advice
and tented, we'd settle the concerns about overcrowded shelters with no
problem. Now if we could just convince the mice to be good neighbors...
