Just curious, if non - 98'ers were excluded, who would be answering the 
questions the 98'ers had?  You would have to post your questions to the 98 
list, repost the questions to another list when more input is needed, repost
the answers (opinions) back to the 98 list.... Geesh, then you have to get 
the 3 pounds of beans, 13 Tyvex condoms, 2 large Tyvex tarps, 2 gallons of 
canola, some rope, felix, 2 male chimps, 2 lady truck drivers, 4 thongs, 
a boom box, and a copy of the Thruhikers guide and the data book.  Mix all
the above ingrediants together on the  tarp (tear all the pages out of 
the books first), except for the boom box.  Get everything/one all oiled up and 
rolled together while  playing "I'm too sexy for this book" off the Twisted 
Thruhikes CD, ensure a good mix then stop the music.  
Now count how many pages of each book are no longer stuck to the tarp.  
1 point is assigned for each page not on the tarp,  bonus points are assigned 
for pages that end up stuck in places Bill Clinton frequents...  
Tally up the point count, then read the book that wins for the answers to the 
rest of your questions for your 98 thruhike... Good luck...
