Living and caching in the same city (Vancouver BC Canada) as the illustrious MrGigabyte i am adding my 2 cents... I notice that one of the sentiments epxpressed here is that this doesn't effect anybody. While not a great effect, what about the "real" cachers (read: non-cheating) who would have like to have gotten off of their butts and logged these caches the traditional way. Wanting to log the "needles of the world" cache i had to drive to Seattle to snag the Space Needle because i had thought that MrG had got off the couch and logged our local needle (Harbour Ctr). Instead it turns out that MrG (or someone at his firm, IN HIS NAME, who has WAY too much time on his hands and should probably dust off the old resume) faked a find. Seneca wrote: ----------------------- The man in question is an ardent Geocacher who has added tremendously to caching in our area ----------------------- I would ask, What has he done for local caching / cachers now that this has come up? He prevented LOCAL cachers from logging: Needles of the world (the harbour ctr) Disc golf Roundup (Little Mtn disc golf course) Suspension Bridges (Alex Fraser Memorial...which BTW IS cable stayed) He prevented Victoria cachers frm logging their local observatory... Hawaii has felt the Photoshop fingers of MrG as well judging from the damning pics posted here. How many others were prevented from logging legit finds by the, now exposed, cheater. I know its a game, but games have rules. Thats what makes them games. Otherwise, its just herds of people milling about. Thats my 2 cents (sorry American cachers...after exchange its only 1.12 cents) Canbill -------------- Can Bill what?
