[at-l] Goodbye Listers

[Black Wolfe]

Slim,



Some of us don't speak up until we feel we have something pertinent to say. 
That said, this is a list, where the loudest (and often quickest) voices get 
heard.  Sometimes the message we want to hear is there, lost in the noise. 
Further, the deeper, more lasting relationships tend to have an off-list 
component built through the years.  The few people with whom I will hike, 
anytime, anywhere, are seldom noticeably vocal on-list.



You do have my envious best wishes for a happy and fulfilling hike.



Black Wolfe,

Bruce W.
