Some of the most popular caches in the world are violations of the rules as written. WVTim's gadgets, for instance... extremely popular, installed with permission and often assistance of the landowners, and mounted on 4x4 posts in the ground that were placed for the sole intent of holding the cache. And to argue that they hurt the image of geocaching because someone planted a post in the ground is silly. Perhaps the solution is to create a new category of cache that has a unique set of rules? Because archiving the many extremely popular post-based caches because of this rule violation would hurt the hobby's image, not help it.
