Feelling all huggy, kissy Tom?  That's sweet, you're a really nice fellow.
Hehe....

Hey, here's one for you, I got all goose bumps when I read it the other day.
I meant to post back, but I think my computer jammed up or something, I
forget.

What do you think?  I think that's a very cool description of the at-l.  Now
I remember why I didn't post.  I read something on WF's little list over
there, bad mouthing the ATC and an article about the at-l.  I meant to
mention it in the same post, but didn't want to stir up the fire!

Oh yeah, here it is.

ATC's recent endorsement (after a nice donation was made) in ATN of another
mailing list that supports values that are a detriment to the A.T. scene.
How I long for the good old days when ATC was an organization of all the
people who work for the A.T. and an organization that understood its
position as protectors of the traditions of A.T. hiking. >>>

What do you think of that crap?   Tom, stay cozy by the fire, I'll try not to
stir up the flames!

Happy Holidays!  ; )
