Im FIRMLY with Alibags on this one..Geocaching is purely a game/hobby,It wont ever alter the rotational axis of the world.. Im afraid that some people take it all to seriously..Surely building linked lists of local caches is a good thing ?,I certainly find such lists a great help when planning a cache 'mission' in a location in other areas alien to me..this has NOTHING to do with advertising ones own caches,this has to do with helping visitors to the area find more caches.
I think that caching is there to be enjoyed,if theres a petty element out there then simply brush em off, not worth the time.
