ObAT means Obligatory AT remark, i.e. "I'm putting this in here so my 
post will have
AT content."   We did it on another list, and sometimes got some very 
useful
and/or interesting information.

Like this:

ObAT:  I find my interest in hiking the AT waxing and waning every few 
years.
For three or four years at a time I'll hike a lot.  Then I'll start to 
really miss riding
and I'll focus more on my horses.  Another three or four years and it's 
back
to hiking.  What's up with that?
