[When to delete a log...]

I had hoped sbell would get the message I've been consistently

sending. Since he insists on airing this in public, he's gotten

this forum whipped into a frenzy. Now that my mailbox is being

littered with hate mail, I suppose I need to discuss it here.

 

But first, shame on all the forum readers that suggested sbell "kick

his butt", "TP his house", "strike back", "plunder his caches" and other

silly things. Kudos to those of you that suspected that there might be

two sides to any issue issue. I just wish that more of you realized that

not everyone likes to air things quite as publicly as sbell does. Since

there are two sides to anything and forum groupies insist on pushing this,

here's the other. We have a history of friction, but there was only

one thing that lead to his permanent banishment from my caches.

 

His one physical cache in the area a few months ago disappeared. (It was

in a highly visible area, so this wasn't a huge shock to many of us.)

You immediately posted a note on the page proclaiming I had stolen it.

Many people watch that list and saw you call me a thief. You then edited

the note to not call me out by name, but then hounded and harrassed the

local club demanding they take "action" on this. The officers of the

club didn't want to get involved, but you kept kept getting louder

and more annoying to the point of frightening them. (They held their

ground.) Since that time, you've taken every potshot you can at me as

publicly as you can.

 

Since I really don't like being called a thief, I studied my options that

would not make my mama turn in her grave. (That precluded the "butt-kicking"

and "TP his house" style of many here in the forums.) Since

you were obviously not having fun at my caches and since we weren't playing

nicely together we should stop playing. We should each take our toys

and play with others. I deleted my find from your cache and then deleted

your finds from mine. Calling me a thief and then scoring finds based

on my work just isn't the way it works.

[What about handicap accessible caches?]

Its not hard to find these kind of places, I belive that they are needed not just the log saying wheelchair assesable except the last three feet, what are they going to do? I have ten wheelchair assesable Vir caches inside the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere and rotate them every three months and I think they are starting to take off.

[Hide / Find Ratio]

I have put out over 90+ caches ( under three login names ) and have found 600+ if you are going to drink from the well then you need to put some back in for the others. but thats less than 25% JOE

[Length of logs for caches found!!!]

I have hidden over 60 caches under three dirrerant login names and found over 400 I make mine short and sweet and expect no more than that on my caches
