Re: [at-l] Umbrellas again

First of all, let me say that as mainstays of the list, those of you who 
are shredding eachother over this umbrella thing are really hurting the 
list.  Take it private, or drop it, please.

second, if this attitude is required to be a "thruhiker", then i'm going 
to hike and not tell anyone.  Jim, let him hike his own hike.  you've 
said it yourself.  how much my pack weighs has nothing to do with my hike 
for me.  i've hiked nearly as much as moost of the rest of you on this 
list (well maybe not but a lot) and never have i worried about how much 
my pack weighed.  i know what i need, and when it's all in then on my 
pack goes, and off i set.

talk softly,
