I am new to caching, 1 year, and trying to work out the etiquette of caching as well. I've printed new logs and carry new zip lock bags thinking that I was helping out, but after reading these post and reading the link that that Pup Patrol posted I now realize that I might be doing more harm then good.
So now I post this question. After posting a need maintenance log how long should you give an owner to perform the maintenance before you request that it be archived?
