Well, you could have said that like three or four years ago and saved us a
lot of grief.  Why have you argued for so long that this wasn't the case?

So I bypass a point and prove it at the same time...  Um...  OK...

You mean by me trying to discuss our relationship to nature, and you calling

anything you say?

Oh...  There it is again.  Yes.  I hate MacKaye, the AT, and wilderness.
Thanks for reminding me.

You hate this list.  You've said so directly in the past.  Why the concern
now?

Yes.  Thank you for reminding us for the bazillionth time how much we all
hate the trail here.

Very helpful.  Very positive.

Thank you.
