: : Mark,

: : I tried to email you in regards to your comments on backpacks but was unable to. I just want to know what your beef is with backpacks. I'm a forestry technician and find them to be an invaluable tool. Not everything fits in a cruising vest, or a mk. VII gas mask bag.

: Are you referring to the 'Star Wars Geek' stereotype? I wasn't talking about the kind of backpack like you would buy in a surplus store- talking about the backpack/bookbag you get in ToysR'Us, seeing adults running around a Star Wars convention wearing one of THESE for no apparent reason, because you never see them actually using it- it's a stereotype, nothing more. Sorry if I offended thee...

: Mark

Mark,
Thanks for clearing that up. I spent some time puzzling over that.

Jim
