[Dial.] trash I think Webster's definition doesn't work for the way "riff raff" was used in this topic. If the people referred to as "riff raff" plunder caches they are of consequence. This topic being one example.

I had one more choice there wasn't room for: Anyone who doesn't agree with (....'s {insert your name here}) position.

The term "riff raff" is being tossed around the "log in to see coordinates" thread. We need to decide on an official definition. Choose from:

quote:Originally posted by Anders: The IP 67 designation specifies waterproof to a depth of one meter (3.3 feet). It means it can withstand the normal pressure found at a depth of one meter. I don't know what the pressure is under the conditions they were suggesting.

quote:Originally posted by TheREALBug: #4. As far as numbers, this has been corrected and the guilty party brought to the geocaching administration's attention. Hardly sporting to allow a find for 3 months and then delete it. Maybe it took a while for the "guilty party" to recognize the problem. It's interesting that you chose those particular words to describe the cache owner.

I'm not competetive because almost everyone in my area has more finds then me, but I like to see what the other people are up to. The top bananas put up some impressive numbers, no matter what the cache ratings are. I got nice emails from a couple of them when I found their caches, and I thought that was nice.

quote:Originally posted by Ride Bent: I agree with that 100%. Too much weight is put into the numbers. I am curious how I can see the number of "not founds" a person has recorded. Go to Dan Miller's leaderboard pages. You can find that information there, although it won't show you how many "not founds" somebody was too embarrassed or competitive to log.

I don't wish to be rude, but who put you in charge of anyone else in your area?

See those papers and things inside? It looks harmless. The folks that called us are kooky. Let's go home, boys. Woa! There's an ammo box!! BLOW 'ER UP!!" Think shrapnel. Which is inherently more dangerous: metal or soft plastic?

I voted number five. I don't like this self promotion crap.

GeoTrash at its worst

That sounds like it's about 160 miles away for the south jersey gang. Wouldn't Morris, Bergen, Passaic or Essex counties be more centrally located?
