I think that it really detracts from the fun of geocaching when someone or some group walk down a country road for miles throwing out identical caches every 528 feet. They don't show any originality and take away from the "Hide and Seek" portion of geocaching. They also tie up miles of places where really cool caches could be hidden in really cool places. Once while following one of these endless strings my 4 and 6 year grandkids just ran ahead and found the next cache. The caches were obvious and predictable. I enjoy geo-art caches, even though they are by definition a string cache because it requires some skill, time and talent to lay one out. I don't think Groundspeak should have ever let string caches into the club. String caches are perfect for lazy people who just want drive slowly down a road, grab cache after endless cache just to pad their stats.
