[pct-l] Fw: Re: All those nice people...

[J J]

Charles,

Good point, except you miss the point. The point is that basic information changes. And the guide books are out of date.

Don't like Yogi or her books? Don't buy them. You would have more up-to-date information if you did. But you can cut off your nose to spite your face - or Yogi's.

Walk well,
J J
