I hope I didn't make it sound as though I was picking on anyone. 
This was just the one question that jumped out at me immediately; 
there were many others as well.

I don't think I used the word "importance" in my previous post. I 
didn't mean to imply that Townsend was not important or somehow 
inferior to Kosciusko, since I don't know enough geography to know 
what is and what isn't important. However, when someone who is 
considered more or less of an expert (or as much of an expert as any 
qb player can be) on the subject draws a blank on it, it gives me 
pause. In any case, second highest mountains are rarely asked about 
precisely for the reason that they are far, far less well known than 
the highest mountain in a given range.

Anyway, I want to stress again that I didn't mean to pick on your 
question, it's just the one I happened to think of first.
