           ***   Let's not split hairs, but the central message has actually 
been a warm sort of detailing of personal drinking habits associated with the 
Trail. All this stemming from an incident originating from current 
alcohol-related Trail problems. I find it interesting that the thread evolved from people 
being shocked over a violent alcohol-caused Trail incident to sort of 
light-hearted banter over personal drinking likes. To me it sort of embodies the 
difference between standing beside and observing things on the AT and actually 
being involved and influential. Eh, not the greatest offense, but telling. As a 
Trail community, I wonder what the effect will be on the next incident people 
are shocked over...

          ***  As with MacKaye, when the real evidence arrives the "Roxy" 
stuff starts (isn't that against list rules btw?) The real root of this was when 
I was asked to reconsider my land acquisition views because of an unrelated 
canoe contract incident. I then pointed out that those focusing on a 6 thousand 
dollar over expense vs the 4 million dollar cost on Saddleback should perhaps 
be the ones who should be reconsidering. These persons were standing up for 
the owners land rights. After all, if Breen dropped his price for his property 
by half, then perhaps the huge price on some unprofitable mountain slope could 
realistically be considered to be worth half as well? In this case the amount 
would be close to 2 million dollars that was over spent. Weary was accused of 
"attacking TJ" in his response that received many posts of several paragraphs 
from Jim. My post, however, received no such answer from Jim, who then somehow 
considers his own somewhat personal response differently. This isn't "picking 
a fight" Jim, it's open conversation on legitimate Trail topics. Shame some 
have to resort to breaking list tone in response (or to avoid answering the 
real points [6 thousand vs 2 million - and the reaction there over])...
