So ? if you carry a cell phone in your pack and turn it on once a week, you 
think it won?t matter, right?  Well, if that makes you happy ? go for it.  

Now, you can quibble all you want about this ? fact is, I don?t give a royal 
flying hoot what you carry or not.  ?Your? hike is NOT ?my? hike.  And "my" 
main concern is ?my? hike.

           ***    While giving an excellent synopsis on disconnectedness, 
this opinion once again fails to relate any pre-existing Appalachian Trail 
design. As usual, while offering advice posing as a Trail voice this opinion never 
once associates these ideas with an existing Trail ethic and acts as if this 
was strictly for hikers to decide. 

              If you read this opinion it conspicuously fails to discuss how 
saying "go for it if you want" affects the overall Trail and its designed 
purpose. Since its author is obviously reflecting the identical ideas of that 
purpose, I can only assume he is doing this deliberately and needs to purposely 
exclude that firm Trail-connection to make his view work.

           What ever you do don't admit this was purposely designed and part 
of the Trail's purpose...
