Rhetoric aside, Canonization (or canonisation) is the act by which an
the Church declares a deceased person to be a saint.

Given that your signature block declares you to be a saint then one is
forced to wonder whether you are replying from "beyond the grave" as
it is often described, or you are just another phony trying to glorify
himself.

Well, I”ve got one foot in the grave, that is for sure.
However, in my not so humble opinion, there never has been a saint and
there never will be, human nature being what it is. The only church I
know about is the one that Mother Nature created for us here on earth.
We should enjoy it by walking softly and leaving only footprints.

But Mother Nature didn't create the trails that you are so
enthusiastic about. They were created by man.


The key word to concentrate on in my signature is the
word “Great”, which I clearly am compared to all the sniveling
despicable mountain bikers who think it is perfectly OK to ride their
bicycles on hiking trails. I only regret there is not a Hell in which
to consign them for all eternity.


There are a number of people who have been awarded the title of
"great" Alfred the Great, for example, conceived the idea of a united
Anglo-Saxon England and by the time of his death had become the
dominant ruler in the country and well on the way of achieving his
aim.

Apparently you, on the other hand, are hiding your light under a
bushel, as the saying goes, since a reasonably diligent search offers
nothing to indicate any greatness associated with the name "Dolan".

Tooting your own horn, seems a very likely scenario.
