Hi Rob:
This isn't a point that I addressed directly. You're right, we all need some kind of outlet, lest we head down a worse path. I think this is why I tried to keep it to my specific situation. If I lived closer to a trailhead...if I didn't live in a major city with relatively crowded trails...if our trails weren't kind of gnarly...if I had absolutely no other outlet. There are lots of things that might point me towards another decision, but I just hope people put a bit of thought into their own, personal decision and think about the potential impacts beyond themselves.
