I don't know why I even bother at this point but these are your
*OPINIONS*.  If anything these threads have evidenced your
inflexibility and myopic view.  I have serious trail concerns as do
many other people on this list.  Frankly I would rather start
discussion of some other topic but your stance that "you have a cell
phone with you on the trail that no other person knows about or ever
sees therefore you are the AT's enemy" is so distorted and without
logic that I am overwhelmed with the feeling to attempt to enlighten
you.  But it's just not working.

Oh well.  I tried.
