[pct-l] Admin note: Multiple CCs

Mon Jun 10 14:17:41 CDT 2013

The messabe below was sent to
bluetrail at aol.com,
baidarker at gmail.com,
tsparks56 at aol.com,
rowriver at gmail.com,
hikeplan at aol.com

As well as pct-l at backcountry.net

That caught it in the spam filter, and required manual approval to get
it to the list.

FROM NOW on, instead of manually approving these, I will be returning
them to sender with an explanation.

SO.... if you want your messages to get through, only send them to the
list address. Everyone else will still get their copy from the list.

Thanks for your attention to this matter!

Whenever I ask how he is, the reply is "tired."  And this is a guy who both hikes, bikes, and does trail work at least 5-6 days a week all year round.  One difference may be that all this regular work is in flat Florida.   He's pushing himself to make low 20's.
