To bring it back to cell phones, I don't like phones much, whether attached 
to a wire or not, but I carry a cell phone sometimes when I hike. I do so 
for for my wife's benefit and whether or not Jim O cares to believe it, it 
does *NOT* affect my hike. And apparently Jim O who has quoted Chainsaw in 
support of his position missed the last part of that post which I will 
quote here:


My advice: If you feel that it would be an intrusion on your experience, 
leave the cell phone at home but be aware that the intrusion is a function 
of your mind, not the phone.

This, of course, all being determined mainly by omitting any 
mention of the AT as a designed place for disconnection. The word "disconnection" is 
even literally spelled out in the ATC guidelines.

It's ironic that nothing will get you roughed up more by the Trail 
Community than standing up for the Trail itself.
