FW: [pct-l] Gear Test Notifications

[CMountainDave at aol.com (CMountainDave@xxxxxxx)]

Am I missing something here? What, exactly, is wrong with a monthly summary 
of gear tests as long as it's not commercial in nature. Seem to me it would be 
a far better source of IMPARTIAL info on backpacking gear than advice give by 
somebody who is partial to his/her own gear. And what's so hard about just 
hitting the delete button if you don't want to possibly see your choice of gear 
compared IMPARTIALLY to others. As for purity, seems to me most people view it 
as a not so good thing when somebody says I hiked every step of the REAL PCT 
and you didn't
 I reiterate. Non commercial and impartial gear testing is okay by me. 
Personally, being quite experienced, I can do without posts that are obviously not 
impartial when suggesting through inference that I should have bought what they 
got, usually of the ultralight variety
