[pct-l] : Re: Fire Closure zones and tripe

[David]

Joanne and others that can't seem to let this go,

You people are destroying this list with your childish bickering!  At
least Reinhold has apparently moved on.  There are those of us on
digest format who can't block your individual emails and have to wade
through this tripe.  Agree that you disagree, quit acting like 10 year
olds who feel they have to get in the last word, and spare the
thousands on this list your ranting.

Thanks!

David

As a relative newcomer to this list, I may be speaking out of turn, however, in my opinion thru-hikers should follow the same guidelines as everyone else.  An extra 2lbs should not be be excessive, especially for folks that have made it the 700-800 miles to the sierra already.  Frankly, the difference in weight should be no different than what most carried in the south as they should be packing far less water.
