Caveman,
You seem to have nothing worth saying on this subject. With such sarcasm, you must have lost the ability to read a tr. Or is it that you have just done and seen it all, so there is nothing left in the world that is interesting to you except posting sarcasm on internet forum boards.
That must be it.
You say all the pretty pictures and colors are what attract you to a TR, so if there are too many of those pesky word things, don't read them (especially those words longer than four letters).
For that matter, you should email R&I and Climbing (a picture to illustrate your point properly) and tell them to put only pictures in and stop all that superfluous writting stuff.
If you had a point other than stop "writing" trip reports and just post pictures, I like Cracked, am missing it.
For the record I like TRs, long walks on the beach, and flirting with geological disaster. New to the board - Howdy. Hopefully others are friendlier than CM.
PT
