My email response back to Matt ..
>>> Yes, I am real.
heh.. well we always thought you were.. just decided you were like 'Charlie'. *smirk*

>> I posted your AT article tonight.
Thank you!!

>>> If you want to edit the byline text at the bottom of the article.
Well I like the idea of using a 'penname'. How about we use this for my byline: "TownDawg is a regular participant at thebackpacker.com and lives in West Tennessee."

>>> I think you have a good start on your webpage.
What I hoped to accomplish with my website was something other than what I see on a lot of other hiking-related websites: "We got up, we drove, we hiked, ate lunch, and had a really good time."

>>> It all depends on what you want to do with your site.
This is where I could use your advice. Do I have anything to contribute? What is missing in the backpacking community where I would not be just 'an also ran' ?

>>> If you want to expand it a ton into something more business like, sure I can help.
Making money always sounds good, but I have no intention of competing with your site. What does your site not offer, (or offer poorly) that I could do better?

>>> ... learn a ton in the process by yourself. I learned all my stuff by just plugging away for a good while.
Agreed. I plan to migrate away from FrontPage to DreamWeaverUltraDev, and I would like to consider TownDawg.com. My take is that there is no sense in paying for a site if it does not generate revenue. The question is how.

>>> Are there any specific things you want to add to your site?
How about a personal interview with the creator of thebackpacker?

>>> Just shoot your questions my way and I'll help you where I can.
I know you will. Thanks in advance. Your webisite has already been a continual source of good information and fun for the backpacking community.

Yeah, she is probably in her 20's,,,,that's at least 5 years (and maybe 10 or more years) older than TD's maximum age limit.

I wasn't suggesting that Matt's wife would leave him. The love affair seems to be between TD and Matt. TD is exposing all the dirty secrets though.

You could always declare it a war in the press but wage it without a formal act of Congress. That way, your prisoners will be criminals and not prisoners of war and therefore not subject to any international interference.


Just a suggestion.
