A quick update: I just read the forum thread that this article started with
(and I should say I generally don't read the forum). It also doesn't seem so
bad to me, but I acknowledge that the tone there overall is very negative. My
take on the forum is that it's an inner circle where a significant proportion
of the participants behave like macho boneheads. And that doesn't appeal to
me, or seem representative of the people I meet on the trails.
