Some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to associate with are retarded. Call me anything you want, but don't slur the developmentally disabled in attempting to poke fun at me. I suppose it might help if I were to insert "who" before "shed", but with the space of a few days' time to help me forget what I wrote, I can't see any further clarification to be necessary. Admittedly, some trail users' behaviors are dangerous, inconsiderate, or both. But the original post struck me as quite arrogant, and yes, my cat does shed. Now go away, or I'll email you his next hairball! -- Bruce A. Johnson Herndon, Virginia 20170 http://home.att.net/~b.a.johnson "Thank God we don't live in Kansas, Toto!"
