Or maybe people here actually *realise* that it is not their mountain to
move....that there are other pathways that are more convenient to
follow. But then, these people, like me, probably never bought that old
rationale for climbing a mountain - 'because it's there'.

Optimism is well and good, but the mountain has to *want* to move before
it can be moved. I am an optimist myself, but I am beginning to realise
that yours won't budge. :)
