Wow, I sure hope this is an isolated response.
This is a bit excissive in my opinion.
#1, There are only 8000 Jeeps, so surely there arent 40000 posts.
#2, I would imagine there are a lot of geocachers that have never released any TBs, like myself, and just want to do the right thing to ensure the TB is activated.
#3, There are a lot of NEW geocachers that are probably not familar with Groundspeak.com vs geocaching.com
I too had a problem with my Jeep. Or at least I thought it was a problem. I went to the geocaching.com website, and tried to enter in my code. The response that I got back was "invalid code". Since that is the same site I use to track the other TBs I have found, I had no reason to think that it would not have worked. When I received the invalid code, I assume it was not yet activated - like everyone else has, I imagine.
Thanks to wolfpackcrue for having the diligence to find a correct solution for everyone that was having the same problem that I had.
The great thing about forums & posts - If you don't want to read them, you don't have to. It's really a choice for everyone.
I don't think it's necessary to "get something of your chest" to people that you don't even know. If you don't like the particular thread, don't read it.
