[pct-l] Contemplating a change in journal site

[montypct]

I'm sure they both have pluses and minuses for each individual who might use 
them.
Who on this list has used both for a PCT thru hike?

I would like to know from a person of that experience what they feel I gain 
and what I'm missing by using one over the other.
