  1. I'm sorry, but there is one person responsible for Scott quitting, and that's Scott himself. The quality of one's character is not determined by what happens to them, but by their response to it. If you're going to admittedly post caches that you know are difficult and frustrating--so much so that you routinely name them "evil"--then you must expect the users to respond accordingly and you must be ready take it in stride. That's a mature response, rather than "Fine! I'm just going to take my caches and go home." Frankly, judging by Scott's the wording in cache descriptions and the obvious pride he took in creating such difficult caches, I'm surprised that he didn't consider each post to be a badge of honor proving that his efforts were paying off. As has been stated earlier in this thread, I appreciate others' warnings and notices in the logs that help to prepare me for what I should expect when looking for a cache. One must be able to distinguish between a warning to others and an "attack" on or "bashing" of the one who hid the cache. I am extremely grateful for geocaching because it gives me a chance to get out from behind my computer, get exercise and spend fun time with my sons. I took my boys and looked for two of Scott's micro caches and one of his traditional caches a couple of weeks ago. We found the traditional but weren't in the right frame of mind to find the micros. I must admit that at that time, I finally started to understand the love/hate relationship that golfers have with their sport. The frustration that I was experiencing had me repeating to myself, "This is what I do to relax and for fun?" It forced me to step back a bit and put things into perspective--but not to quit.
