I was also a little taken aback about the comment of the site being for traditional winter campers. I know for a fact that most of those members have a 'cold tent kit'. Yes, somewhat stand - off - ish. There lose. Other than that, I don't recall any slagging of your style and knowledge.

On a somewhat different note, I'm becoming somewhat sensitive to the references being made to Canadians and this style of winter camping. How would you categorize the folks from Wisconsin and Minnesota and Maine that subscribe to this style and who might form the majority on that site. Don't forget the Conovers are from Maine. The only winter camping symposiums are located in the northern U.S., with none in Canada (we don't have the numbers).

There, I've got that off my chest. eh!
