You're right. It has nothing to do with the AT nor even with hiking. I can find "cool stories" all over the web. Don't need them cluttering up WB. Shall we all start threads on irrelevant topics we think are "cool"?
Apologies for being a grump.

It is a very "cool story" I wouldn't have read it if you hadn't posted it here. Thanks for sharing it with us DLANOIE.
Cant for the life of me, figure out why it is such a big deal if someone happens to post "off topic" on this website!! Call the posting police!! It was a neat story and it didnt offend me at ALL which topic it was posted under!!

I agree with you Rainman....and I thought you stated your feelings politely. There are sites all over the web if people are interested in these human interest stories. Please don't start to clutter the WB with stupid crime stories or videos of cats playing the piano.

There is a non-AT (or non related to hiking) forum...

Ha... I wonder if she paid the $150?From the sound of her response, I'd bet she did.
I think Rainman absolutely stated his opinion politely. I looked for a non AT related/off-topic forum and could not find one. I dont mean to "clutter" WB with non hiking related threads and I will likely not do it again.

Such a polite grump. (but a grump none the less)

Yes, let's keep it cluttered with stupid hiking questions only.

Don't let one grump scare you away. There were many others that like your post.
