  1. I think they are here for my entertainment In some cases that is true but in the case of this thread it's all about the entertainment. I know I've been entertained.
  2. But what if you suffer from OCD? And, unlike deadly peanut allergies, that is an affliction that is epidemic in the caching community.
  3. His implication is, I believe, that some people are willing to post just for the sake of being heard, whether they are wrong or right. I believe he is correct here, but it seems that, in this case, he's pointing a finger that should be directed at him. I think he is missing out on the fact that the forums are a social experience. Many of my posts are an attempt at levity and certainly only made 'for the sake of being heard'. Others are an attempt to communicate a specific point of view. Certainly, these also were made for the sake of having my position heard, which, I guess, could be said to be 'for the sake of being heard'. My neighbor says something like that about his dog humping my leg.
  4. That must be the cache where I found the dead cacher with the unused epi-pen in his hand. Good thing there were lots of pine needles around to cover him up with. Its against guidelines to bury a cacher isnt it? Well, I wasn't planning on posting the hide. It's not like I'm all about the numbers.
  5. A common opinion among those with a double digit post to find ratio.

  7. Wow! This thread has run the gamut. First a question about a problem that no one knows has ever occurred. Then posters opining on the quality of containers they've never used. Escalating to posters criticizing the cache quality of areas they never cached in. Now its reached the point of posters criticizing the hides of people whose caches they've never found. But hey, that's just another week on the gc.com forums. It's all about the numbers... of posts.
  8. You forgot the part about "This container may contain items that may have previously been in a container that may have contained peanuts or may have been found and handled by someone who has previously eaten peanuts, found a container that may have contained peanunts or may have contained items that may have previously ben in a container that may have contained peanuts or may have been found and handled by someone who has previously eaten peanuts..."
  9. Which you know because you've found so many there. Ahhh, see the problem with judging by find counts? Look again at mine. You'll see I stopped logging online over 2yrs ago, yet I still cache. Did a bunch just today. Nobody but me has any idea what or how many I have or have not found. Well good for you buckeroo. The beauty is that nobody cares how many you have or have not found so everything works out right. Just the same, I can tell by your description of caching in Jacksonville how many you've found. But then you've never been one to let lack of knowledge stand in the way of of your post count.
  10. They told me there wasn't going to be any math...
  11. oh to end all this ranting.. The answer to your question in YES To help back up your point there was a teen that died from kissing her boyfriend HOURS after he had eaten a peanut butter sandwich. Oh, wait, never mind. Her death wasn't cause by a peanut butter sandwich. A cousin of a friend of a gecacher I met at event once (or was it in a bar) got kidnapped by space aliens shortly after eating a bag of trail mix that contained peanuts.
  12. Ah! A wise voice of moderation. Technology can solve the problem. First soap and hot water to clean containers and now a new Attribute Selection. Perhaps we could have different attributes for the various types of allergy sufferers that could be killed by logging a cache. I personally abhor shrub hunts. They get me so frustrated I come close to stroke and/or myocardial infarction (alas, cardiovascular ailments run in my family). A shrub hunt icon to warn me off would be nice. Unfortunately, we'd need to expand the limit beyond the current 10 allow. Perhaps a seperate page. GSAK could event be programed to download it separately like child waypoints.
  13. They can take my nuts from my cold dead hand.
  14. Yikes! Maybe that explains all those bodies I've been finding.

  16. So far I've released 12 coins, including one USA coin, five of my "keeper" series and six Serial Finder personal coins. Not counting the Keeper coins, which are designed to be kept, I haven't lost one yet. Interestingly, event the keeper coins are getting moved about quite a bit.
  17. I have a couple of the Serial Finder Pewter LE (only 50 Made) left. I'm looking for the following coins -- Missisippi LE (Black Nickle or Copper) Michigan Winter 2005 Michigan Winter 2006 Avalanche Event Sweet Lake Night Cache Midwest Geobash Also, I would trade a Geowoodstock 3 coin for any two of these.
  18. Nice to see you started your collection at the top.
  19. BTW, I'm Guessing the story will run 2 or 3 chapters more. Possibly 4 It wasn't the waypoint you had wrong, I would probably have given you that as a typo. You got question 2 wrong.

(HINT: It's a real cache) N 30' 27.566 W 081' 26.075 (Jungle Cache) - the name of the cache alone was insufficient, you needed to give the coordinates 8. What is the name of the event that JaxPosse and Luke Duke attend? (spelling counts) StressMaster's Meat and Greet 9. What coin does Serial Finder find? A Federation coin 10. What do JaxPosse and Luke Duke have for dinner at the event? Steaks 11. What tool does JoeMerchant employ to open a lock?

  23. If a coin is trackable, that's enough of a connection for me. Some of the non-trackable ones are questionable tough. The most questionable ones seem to be those that are only available on ebay.
