As a teacher you would understand the difference between a teacher who is teaching out of a book, or out of Google, about "The Lewis & Clark Expedition" and how that would be threatened if someone from the actual expedition showed up.
It is sad that these forums are the domain of the book learned, and Google learned, who spend so little time with, "Boots in the Field".
I made it clear when I came to the forum, that where as I am 60'something and have no children to pass information forward, and I have had the Gift of living and working in Alaskan wilderness for 40 years, I felt it some responsibility to pass on some lessons learned.
However after threads like "The River" I realize that some seek to discredit and choose to call other members "Hornblower's".
It is just easier to shoulder my pack, and go hiking in the lovely, tranquil wilderness. The forum was never my environment, it was never even a workable teaching medium. I am sad that it did not work. Very sad.
