I hear frequently on this list that the input of those of us who are learning helps everyone. I enjoy this list because of the diversity of opinions and skill levels. I may never be able to handle what Doug Lloyd can, I'm not sure if I would even want to, but I can learn a great deal from him and the other Old Salts. It is this sharing of information that I like so much. Not just the I went here and had a good time trip reports (although I love them!), but the I screwed up royally and this is how it happened reports. I feel we learn more from having someone tell us what almost killed them than we do from almost any thing else short of making the same mistake ourselves. Personally, I am happy to let others make the mistakes for me as long as I can learn from them.
