[nct-l] backpacker intolerance

[nct-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Ryan Bowles)]

Almost none of the responses to this tiresome issue have been from nct-l 
members.  Most are from PCT-L listers who replied to cross-posted messages.  
I have already given the cross-posters from nct-l a short lesson in 
netiquette.  In the mean time, if we just ignore it, it'll go away soon 
enough.
