[at-l] WB

[Jim Bullard]

You know it is funny how these things get morphed. All I was saying
was that I like AT-L better than WB and why. It was a statement of
personal preference, that was all. I was not saying White Blaze was
bad and I didn't even bring ATML into it. It is simply a case of
"different strokes for different folks". I meant no insult to anyone
by my preference for AT-L over WB as my preferred window on the AT
community. I like the posts landing in my mail box as opposed to
having to go somewhere looking for them, that's all.

And FWIW R&R I have been doing volunteer work for trails for 17 years
now and still counting. I don't intend to quit until I can't do it any
more. If you don't feel that either AT-L or WB live up to your
standards R&R, the solution is to start your own list that does. It is
that simple. What you did in the past does not change the situation
you disapprove of now.
