I don't get this, Bum had a bad experience with reckless behavior and so many couldn't wait ti jump on him.  They did not have to put up with the situation that he did.  On the other site I saw a post where a fellow was asking about taking a very quiet Martin packpacker guitar and if by rare chance anyone would hear it would it be a problem.  Once again so many could not wait to jump all over him, without even ever have had the situation to confront themselves.  My my how important do we all really think our nonthinking opinions are worth.  I used to be nice and helpful to fellow canoeists seems so many of us are narrow thinking brainwashed fools who are just waiting for the chance to berate someone.  This is what our society has become? May God helps us.  Good bye.
