I'm not a thru-hiker, but I play one on the internet. If nothing else, 
Magoo's "failed" thru-hike proves that it really doesn't matter. He got 
to do some hiking, he experienced something most people can't even dream 
of, he has a bond with his son that will never be broken, he made friends 
for a lifetime (myself included, whether he wants it or not), he tasted 
success and defeat at the same time, he went home with some great stories 
(not the least interesting of which was dinner in Pearisburg) and started 
living life again with a little smile and ton of memories. Can you top 
that???
