Dear listers who may not have been around that long.

Tom Reynolds is a self proclaimed weekender who never intends to thru hike, 
and seems to be on a mission to get all backpackers in the Sierra to use 
bear cans. In the past this has involved lots of name calling (scoff-law 
was the most used term) and heated discussion.

I will not comment on his, or the opposing views, but I will caution all 
parties concerned not to begin yet another flame war on this one........... 
Search the archives if you really want to know.
