Oops - my 'bad'; didn't mean to say that rules should be 'broken', but that 'RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE'. Change is not necessarily a BAD thing.

First, I would like to start by saying, "Thank You!" to Snoogans and all those involved in hosting GW4; the event and the people we met were awesome! However..... we were very disappointed when we got home and started logging our 'temp/pocket/moving' caches, only to have our logs deleted two days later. We understand the 'rules' set forth by GC - but aren't ALL 'rules' subject to being broken??? Perhaps TPTB at GC should listen to those supporting their website and buying their products - and maybe consider a 'survey' when faced with such an issue (and let ALL cachers vote). Just our $0.02 worth, we think pocket/temp caches should be allowed at large events because they are a terrific 'ice-breaker' and a fun way of meeting people! Why should some be allowed to break the rules and not others? I've had caches rejected because they were too close to others; yet I was surprised to find two caches in downtown Dallas just 50 ft. from one another! Hmmm....... We probably wouldn't have wasted our time (or our gas) on the temp caches - but wanted to show support for those who took the time to place them. Perhaps this matter could be taken into consideration by TPTB and maybe temp/moving/pocket caches could fall into their own special category as 'locationless' caches once were. Our other two comments involve the 'mega-event' icon and the site of next year's GW. Since 'mega-events' are becoming popular and GW is a sort of 'special' mega-event; shouldn't the icon for GW be a peace-sign (of sorts) and the existing icon be used for 'regular' mega-events? And, who gets to decide the site for the upcoming GW? Shouldn't that also be placed on the table for discussion??? I know if I were a business owner and my customers weren't satisfied, I'd try to find out why; afterall, my business depends on THEM.

I will need to know an approximate number so that I'll know how large of a roasting pig to get, and so i can roughly figure a per head cost. You can count me in for one piglet-plate and one truckload of wood. I just had a chat with the local cajun wood guy and he says, "Oh, you doin a cochon de lait? I got da special wood jus fo dat cher. You take you some hickry and wall-nut and soak dat, you get you fire goin an...." At least I don't have to cut it myself. Chances are, Katie'll be ducking this one. It's UL's last home game that weekend and I seriously doubt she'd miss it. alex
