[at-l] ATC

[TrailR at aol.com (TrailR@aol.com)]

Is it really beneficial to ATC to spend the time listening to 
the opinions of "ALL" the members? Do most members KNOW
what is best for the AT in the long term? Could they even 
agree on it? We can't, so try getting 30,000 members to agree.
It would be like a presidential election.... Pick a plan that 
most everyone can agree on, instead of one that is best.
 
Then there are the real users of the AT (day use, vacationers, 
etc., numbering in the millions), who would probably like some 
sections of it paved for easier access.  Sometimes large quantities 
of input are a bad thing.  Maybe the consultant idea isn't so  bad....
YMMV
