Funny thing about words, they have a way of changing meaning. Did you
ever talk to a politician after the election? Sometimes words end up
with the opposite meaning. For example the word "let" has reversed its
means in the last 300 odd years. Remember that sonnet by old William
what's his name? "Let me not to the marriage of true minds...." meaning
do not hinder me from the marriage of true minds.

If we define "thru-hiker" today then some future generation might find
our postings in the crumbled ruins of this civilization and wonder why
we were all so against hiking the AT!  Filex, you take it from here.
