[at-l] Keeping it a hiking discussion?

[russ.drake at navy.mil (Drake, Russ SKCM)]

  I agree with Balls,  I guess I look at this list in context with hiking... when I hike all day, come to a place to camp I meet with other hikers... When I do this I DO talk about hiking, gear, trail conditions, and trail topics... BUT that is not the only thing I talk about.. I joke, laugh, listen to stories and talk about life in general.   If Kelly goes it is a pure shame,  if you don't like her posts or if you don't want to read what she has to say one ALWAYS has the option to delete her posts.. Wow what a concept... 
 
  Kelly,  the decision to go is totally yours, but I want you to know Dutch does not speak for me.
 
Sparky!

Oh, Kelly, my baby sugar pumpkin, don't leave us!  Dutch you apologize to Kelly right this minute!  I thought you came on a bit too strong myself and we like Kelly and we want her to stick around.   The list won't be the same without you Kelly.  If you leave, I'm leaving, please come back!

Saying you are bored -- well, I don't give a rat's behind about that, and I doubt anyone else who's been on this list for any amount of time and depends on it for hiking news does, either. 

Hell, my broken back has prevented me from hiking at all this year. Talk about not only being bored, but frustrated and hurting! 

So Kelly, please stop the dumb blonde Southern Belle routine and stick to the subject, for crying out loud... you're ruining the scenery. And all of you joining in by responding to her jabber: cut it out, willya? All of you are making real hikers with something interesting to contribute leave the list. Then, who will be left to make this a hikers' list?


Dear Dutch:

You know what?  To the thrill of the rest of the people out there who don't like me or my posts, congratulations!  You have succeeded in making me feel unwelcome enough to unsubscribe from this list for good.  Have a nice day.

GoVols 
PS: those of you who correspond with me off list are still welcome to do so.  I appreciate the jokes and the things that happen in your everyday life, trail related or not.
