[nct-l] backpacker intolerance

[nct-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Robert W Scholtens)]

It would appear that whining and a lack of consideration for others  is
an aspect of communication among backpackers.  This is something that I
personally don't enjoy, and is the reason why I left the Great Lakes
Hikes list.  It appears that this mentality is either more widespread
among backpackers than I thought, or the malcontents from that list have
moved to this list.  At any rate, their whining is not very enjoyable, so
since those in charge of these lists don't know how to silence these
complainers, I'm going to remove myself from this list, also.  I hope
someday I can find a list of hikers who have learned how to benefit from
those who are different that they are.
