Dispensing advice that will often kill? Hmmm.... Now,  I wonder:
How many guys are still shitting in diapers after being bent on WKPP
dives? Just curious. Plus, If Geo and Co want to 'spread the word'
they would be well advised to be polite about it. Nobody pays much
attention to a profane whacko yelling on a streetcorner.

It's not the message I object to, it's the manner. A well reasoned,
polite, and quiet arguement will always prevail over a loud, profane,
and uncivilized one, even should the profane one be more correct.


Now, enough of this. On to the topics that are of interest. Like how to
carry my goodie bag while using a canister light. I could givearatsass
about the rest.
