On two issues people have raised:

	Mountain bikes traveling too fast--if someone were going so fast
	as to be a hazard, I could probably find it in my heart, as a
	hiker, to hold out an arm or a walking stick and give them the
	choice of slowing down abruptly or crashing.  I try to be equitable
	about such things--I'd do the same for a fast-moving bike on a
	sidewalk in the city.

	Noisy mountain bikes--this probably ought to get the same sort of a
	response as a noisy hiker/camper.  (Haven't you ever run across
	someone obnoxious enough to play a boom box in the woods?)

So far, I'm still in agreement with whoever said "take them on a
case-by-case basis."
