Next time, please tell us how you really feel. Try not to hold back so much.
Sorry, buddy. Just had to give you a hard time.
Seriously, I hate the idea of carrying a bear canister, just because people have been sloppy in the past as far as taking precautions to protect their food. I'm having to buy a new pack this summer to thru-hike the JMT, just to carry the stupid canister.
