[at-l] Backpacker Magazine

> **I'd say you must have missed something, too. I was just letting those who don't subscribe to the magazine know that it was a special issue with a lot of stuff we've been TRYING to talk about lately, like gear basics, what you need to know starting out, good advice for newbies, that sort of thing. I could have just said that instead of copying the email I get from them every month, I guess.  But since when is a heads up like that spam?? I'd say discussing Backpacker magazine is a hell of a lot more relevant to this list and the lists PURPOSE than a lot of the recent posts by you and RnR - both of whom fail to grasp a very simple concept, and seem to want to keep demonstrating that over and over without end.

	I'm not seeing the problem, either. Folks are always posting good deals
at outdoor stores, interesting articles or websites, and so forth. This
was just more of the same, I thought.

	Hey! You're not some highly paid Backpacker corporate drone, are you?
