According to Gresham's Law, "Bad money drives out good."
If you have a choice of two currencies, one which may become worthless and the other will not,
people will tend to spend the questionable currency while holding the good.
This may have some applicability to ST, but I wouldn't know.

"A Penny For Your Thoughts" Twilight Zone Episode over 40 years ago.
While this episode was about telepathy, I believed it went further by begging the viewer to ask himself: is it more rewarding to have your honest thoughts actually heard by others, instead of keeping them secret
Hmmmmmmmnnnn ?

Just got back from Culp Valley near Anza Borrego. Small amount rock, then some hiking and mainly taking a wisdom course learning about compass, wilderness survival etc.
Just read the last two pages here and can't tell you how they made me smile and just enjoy all the different perspectives and peeps here on The Taco.
Cheers to you all as each of you add so much to ST in your own individual way (s). lynne

Looks kinda like it. A close friend did the first sit start ascent of that thing. He called it "After Sits." It was sick!

I'm one of those persons that uses ST to reconnect with old friends and remind myself of the good old days when my body and lifestyle hadn't taken from me my old, semi-hardcore self. If that makes me a "not worthy" person for participation in discussion to some people, then I'm happy for you that you are able to always be strong and follow the path that you love.
I think that the "bond of the rope" creates long life friendships and an outlook on life that allows a person to handle a lot of hardships that have nothing to do with climbing.
I've had lots of problems in my life, that I've never aired here, but you guys have helped me through a lot of them none the less. This place is an inspiration, and a place of solace for me in this crazy world.
As far as the boob thread goes, I only read it for the articles:-)

A close friend did the first sit start ascent of that thing.
And people complained because I wanted to know who did the first all-gay (or all-lesbian or first trans-gender) ascent of el Cap!

Does THAT really matter? It's this PC Bullschitt that has dissillusioned me with this forum.

the bottom line is no matter who you are
you are either participating
or you are not
The act itself does not need to be discussed.

I've known brokedown for 50 years now and I've never met a more honorable person. If he is offended at something it no doubt has to do with his sense of honor. If others are offended that he is offended, what does that say about their sense of honor? Apparently from the level of obnoxious vitriol directed toward him and others, there are some who have no sense of honor and take pleasure in that fact. To each his own.

A point well made, which bears emphasis.

Rodger, I got too much of that in my academic environment. Want to talk about affirmative action (concept vs practice)? ;>(
