This is sad, because the topic of the thread, was getting close to the core of why we climb. Understanding "why" is important to me. It is something I wish to explore with other climbers.

Hey Guy;
I think your above quote really gets at the heart of the matter, and I can certainly relate to your sentiment.
If I might make a suggestion...take the best of what was in that thread, and put it in an article...the topic interests me also, and I have written candidly on this site about why I climb, then
many in this community joined in the conversation in the comments section following my articles. Some of the comments were a bit off base, but generally speaking, the ensuing conversations
were fascinating, and insightful.
One of the huge advantages I found with this approach, is that I had time to consider well my comments and statements, I have even asked other members [Bob Sihler, amongst others]
to edit my articles prior to publishing.
Also, the people who commented on my writings had taken the time to read, and consider my thoughts, and their input was heartfelt.
Cheers
One thing I can say for certain about Bob Sihler {whom I respect immensely}, is that his contributions and actions that I have witnessed on this site have been exemplary, and I wish to give him a very
hearty "Well Done Sir", along with a big "Thank You" for taking on the difficult job of "elf".
