I once had a friend who was President of the local Anarchists Society. How does that work then?
I've been meaning to start a Society of Procrastinators for quite some time now.
I was gonna join an apathy support group but figured why bother.
I was going to start a Mensa club but don't no how.
I'm going to create a discussion forum for those that have pledged to a vow of silence.
I was going to be circumspect but I couldn't get around to it..
What are these types of jokes called?

there are still some caches that I can't load at all, like GC21ATA.
That cache has quotation marks in its title. Have a look at the caches you are trying to upload and see if there are single or double quotes, or apostrophes, in the title or descriptions. I bet the plugin barfs on some types of punctuation.

Welcome.
After you select GOTO, you should be able to use the page button to go to a screen with a compass dial and an arrow in the middle. The arrow should point to the cache. As you move towards the location, there will likely be a distance readout that will let you know how far.
BE CAREFUL. Following the arrow in a straight line directly to the cache is not always safe.
When you get close to the cache, the needle may bounce around a bit, so you might have to back off and let it settle down until it points again to the location.
Press the page button again on your GPS - there should be another screen with a map display with your track overlaid on it, which can be useful for finding your way out again.
Good luck and have fun!

I seem to recall this thread from a year back where someone hid a cache in the forest and asked finders to bring some decoration to add to the tree. Anyone else remember that?
Here's one: GCZHZB Holiday Tree

I have no problem whatsoever entering a park with posted visiting hours. However, I have only had to do it once that I can remember. Here, its not breaking a law - it is breaking a by-law.
I believe these bylaws for some parks are in place for liability reasons, to give the municipality plausible deniability in the event that miscreants injure themselves (likely while drunk).
I didn't mention this in the log, however. It is impolite to the CO (who explicitly mentioned the park hours in the description) but more importantly, it could be used as inculpatory evidence.

I liked the graph paper idea; here's my first attempts with a match container and lock-and-lock:
-
Proof would be a forwarded email from within a system that uses public key encryption, like PGP.
This would allow anyone to verify that the messages were not altered, and that they were sent by the person in the from: field. But I digress.
Certainly GS could verify that this is what transpired without compromising anyone's confidentiality (more than it has been already).
-
I wouldn't consider a forwarded email as hard evidence - it is simple to construct a falsified mail message including all the internet headers. Not something normally done, but not inconceivable in this situation, given the alleged history of the parties involved.
In fact, email allows for hearsay-within-hearsay.
Still, this scenario fits best what we have seen transpire here.

Toronto: grabbed two 30cal cans for 9.95 each from Beavers Surplus Exchange at 3269 Dufferin, south of Yorkdale. The dude didn't even charge me 10 cents for the two plastic bags...

This is interesting: GC1N7P3
Having spent considerable time within Camp Samac back in the day, I know that you could place a number of excellent caches of different types.

it's their need to try and infiltrate their opinion and foist it on the rest of humanity.
Some religions are self-mandated to proselytize. Mine is not, but it is fun to try!
A ) I believe that there are many spiritual athiests that are closer to "god" than many religious zealots will ever be.Well put... and probably very accurate.
It is my contention that it takes as much faith to disbelieve as it does to believe.
The Flying Spaghetti MonsterThank you for being inclusive - not everyone is. Some think just because Pastafarianism is a joke religion that it can be dismissed as such. I believe that if there is a god, it would not have a problem with anything that makes people laugh. That is why I leave FSM pamphlets in caches - they are funny!
Post script: This message of tolerance does not apply to folks who hide film cans, as we all know they are going to Hell.
Yeah, I felt unclean hiding film can-sized containers as part of a series, so I tried to camouflage them so that only intervention by His Noodly Appendage would reveal their location....

you're probably just being paranoid
Maybe. Wouldn't be the first time. I had to go back and look. Of his 37 finds, 12 were previously visited by me and had flags deposited:
The Other Side of York Cemetary
Little Red Riding Rabbit -On the way to Grandma's

You can see the lat/long in multiple different formats by clicking on the [other conversions] link next to a cache's coordinates.

But I wouldn't mind a small religious token of any sort, so long as it was in good taste (i.e. nothing satanic)
So I have to be devil's advocate? (ha ha)
How would a satanic religious token be in bad taste?

My (teenaged) children make fun of me for using "muggles" so now I just refer to Others as "civilians"
-
I have left Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster pamphlets in some caches.
...and if I had to choose, I'd take the quarters from that cache before I took a bible - its probably a good desiccant.

With this, you can stone two birds with one kill:

It is a compass with a safety whistle built in.

Some of us are downloading the cache description into the gps and have to scroll through dozens of useless html markup.
As part of my paperless process, to strip out the html I "print" the listing using a text-only print driver and output that to a file, which is posted on the internet. If necessary, i will access the description from the field via my cellphone. Rarely, I will travel outside the digital network and will save the files into my phone before leaving.
Because it is easily circumnavigated, I have no problem putting HTML in my cache descriptions to spice them up.
Probably been done before but Im proud of it

Here's my first ammo can attempt with the graph paper method; I cut the templates on top of 2" wide painter's tape then used the tape pieces to connect the paper pieces:
