[pct-l] Just Curious ...

[Tortoise]

The ".com" domain may just have been a convenience of who ever started 
the forum. but it does raise a question. More important, I couldn't find 
any "about" the site to tell us who are running this forum and what its 
goals are, etc.

Also, there is a front page message to "help save bicycle access to the 
CDT". Not hardly in line with the interests of most PCT-L members I think.

I think that this is NOT a site I wish to support.
