No, I simply want to pose you as someone
with a need to feel morally superior to every
other hiker who ever set foot on the AT.  Not
that this isn't abundantly obvious already.

These aren't baited questions, RnR.  You set
yourself up for them.  They follow from your
own logic, or lack thereof.

Rather than accept that a cell phone solves
a problem that's affected hikers from day one...
your attitude is that we should forego any
such solution and tough it out.  Those left
at home mustn't worry, mustn't make demands.

You offer no solutions, just preaching and
moralizing.  You want a trail walked only by
the purest of souls.  I'm confident (and
relieved) that your dream will never come true.
