[pct-l] **REAL** WINNERS are

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

the real winners are those who hike their own hike and do whatever 
the heck they want without regard to any definition of "real winner" 
except their own definition.  if your goal is to hike the PCT faster 
than anyone else in the world, then that is a admirable goal. if your 
goal is to hike the PCT for as long as possible, that is an admirable 
goal as well.  if you goal is to day hike one afternoon on a 1/2 mile 
section of the PCT and never do anything else, that's cool too.

If someone is happy about their accomplishment or plans, then I like 
to be happy with them and support them, no matter what my subjective 
judgement of their accomplishment is.


peace,
dude
