  1. ack!!!.. be prepared for hundreds and hundreds of emails. From someones geocaching website I got sucked into one of those endless questionnaires for the 'free' prize.

     

    They will sell your information to ALL of their affiliates and it just never seems to end. Everytime you submit "unsubscribe" it only confirms your email address too.

     

    Will you get the gps... let us know but I doubt it.

    You can't unsubscribe fast enough to keep up with the new spammers. Sometimes you have to change your email address. :rolleyes:<_<

  2. Because even after you brave the -17 wind chill. Poke frozen fingers thru the snow into every stinkin stump and tree crotch. Get broken wrist from tring to turn over rocks frozen to the groung. You finally find the ammo can and the darn thing is frozen shut so well that a sledge hammer wont open it, I like winter camping, I like winter hunting. But cacheing weather should be at least 30 deg. F.

  3. Chatting in here was a huge mistake for me. I hope you enjoy geocacheing as much as i do and hope you have a great day.

    The anonimity of the internet allows people in forum to be slightly more rude than in "real" society. Don't let it bother you too much. Roll with the punches.and all is well.

  4. So many things come into play here. I have neither a high post count (136) nor a high find count (125) or even a high hide count (4)

    I am able to be on the forum only in January and February for the most part. I live in an area with not alot of hides so I must travel now sometime a good distance to get more finds. But to say it makes me any more or less a geocacher than others would be wrong. The same holds true of others.

  5. While waiting I look over to the GPS sitting in it's cradle on the dash and notice the elevation...

     

    666 FT!!! :D

     

    NOW I KNOW FOR SURE THAT SWEET STUFF AIN'T GOOD FOR YA!!!

    :D:P:D

     

    D-man B)

    Something must be wrong with your GPSr! I went to Baskin Robbins today and it was at 840 elevation.

  6. as an independent recording artist, every time someone tells me they like my work so much that they made an illegal copy of it instead of buying it, my stomach sinks. that's $10 i don't recover toward my recording costs.

     

    the recording industry may have run away with the royalties, but the copyright laws protect the artists as well. i will be happy to turn in people who distribute illegal copies. call me a little prick if you want. it's still theft of someone's intellectual property.

     

    when i fing illegal discs in caches, i treat them as i would knives and food. go ahead and flame me. the law is on my side, and i'm not so keen on justifications of breaking the law. stealing is wrong. there are no excuses.

    No flame here, I agree.

  7. Am I the only one left in the world who keeps a dictionary by the computer and uses it regularly?

    yes

    http://www.m-w.com :bad:

    I believe the remark was regarding my (mis)spelling. Even if I keep that dictionary open in my browser, it is highly unlikely that I am going to check my questionable words ( of which there are many). If the forum had a built in spell checker it would help, but I think I will just have to ask you all to forgive my poor spelling mistakes and I will forgive yours.

  8. I'm really not talking about copying a CD you own and leaving it in a cache. I'm talking about imports, CDs you cannot get in the states. Since they are unavailable anyway, would this make a good cache item?

    this really is an interesting question. I believe there are such things as international copyrights, but I know NOTHING about them. I would have 1 question though. How would you have obtained this music. Is this something you purchased while in another country? Grey market means a lot of things. In my business when a supplier offers me grey market material, it is usually a domestic product which has been produced for a foriegn market. usually, then labled in German, French, or Japaneese. I don't know that that makes any difference in your situation.
