Steve -
I don't think you're in any danger of having to apologize.  The way I 
remember it (and I "could" be wrong) during a "discussion" on TA, Roks 
proposed a check-off box on the Federal Income Tax form.  Which isn't all 
that bad an idea if were to be applied to trails in the state that the 
taxpayer lived in - or maybe to a general fund for all the National Scenic 
Trails.  But Roks got into his usual dog-in-the-manger, 
it-should-only-be-for-the-AT mode, which wouldn't be a viable option at the 
Federal level, so it got tiresome arguing with him about it.  Then someone - 
I think it was thru-thinker - came up with the AT License Plate idea.  Since 
thru-thinker is a lawyer, he decided to try to get it done in NC.  And he 
did.  Roks made the contribution of starting the "what can we do to raise 
money for the AT" thread.  But it was thru-thinker who came up with 
something practical - and then made it happen.

Kudos to thru-thinker -
Jim
