At first you sounded just like TP,,the difference here is that you will NOT
get kicked off if you post publicly,,,Those people that support WF "could"
post publicly! On TP you CANNOT and are NOT allowed to post publicly or you
will be kicked off TP!

I think Felix said it well,,,sometimes talking about it relieves a bit of
the hurt and pain caused by WF,,,to be able to complain once in awhile!

Did anyone else find it strange that this mysterious person stated what Jack
had just said?

There you go with that anonymous thing again! We all sign our names and I
personally have told WF to his ear (was on the phone with him for over 2
hours) what I thought about "his" TP! Would have talked to him in person at
Hot Springs but he was in hiding!

They have too much fun writing nasty

Now who is "bashing" others?

This is not true,,,most of the people that have issues with WF contribute a
great deal to this list.

Again,,who was that "anonymous" person?

.  Surely these folks have something POSITIVE to offer this list, other than
the abilility to make
>personal attacks on others in the hiking community.

What about your personal attacks,,,example,,,attacking the person that wrote
the poem? KC
