Synthesis: Hills vs. mountains

The e-discussion on 'Hills vs. Mountains' was sparked off by a Mountain Forum member's posting on the mf-asia discussion list (March 27 to April 10, 2001). The question asked was if there was much difference between hills and mountains in terms of cultures and geographies. The ensuing e-discussion was, however, tilted more towards a search for the definitions of hills and mountains.  The main points of the discussion have been summarized.
