And the final results are: 16 votes counted Delete them 5=31% Leave them archived 9=56% Don't Care 2=13% So looks like a vote for maintain the status quo and in keeping with current policy of making the boards somewhere people can get on with each other rather than shout about the L*v*l*c*s I declare the subject closed.

Robin, Why don't you leave them archived and remove the links on yours (and others) sites. Then they are effectivly deleted. WddaYaFink?

I say Delete them and draw an end to this sorry saga. I've created a Poll so that everyone can have a vote and because it's a new toy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thought I would try the new technology !! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I suggest we take a vote on whether the 35 Lovelock caches should be deleted - rather than remain archived as they have been since 5th November. Now that I do not have write access to these geocaching.com pages, they are rapidly drifting away from reality. The log I posted saying that they were missing and that I no longer had write access has also been deleted. These caches are obviously on several other geocaching sites which are kept up-to-date as they are replaced or changed. I'm relaxed on the final decision, and suggest that the moderaters inform me and Jeremy of their decision after a suitable period of discussion. Robin Lovelock

We seem to have resolved the problems with Docs-To-Go so I will be sending out a new version to all current users Real Soon. The new version will consist of 2 Sheets: The current Standard one that contains Links to Sites & the FAQs. A Second "lite" version formatted for use on Palms.

quote:Originally posted by Robin and June: The result is a diversity of caches, which range from a 1/1 to a 5/5, and a diversity of cachers .... Ahh and there is the point - not lots of caches all of identical type & difficulty!

As we are fairly new to you I will take the liberty of replying. We have no intention of planting over your side of Essex so plant away. Just expect us to be there pretty soon after it appears Welcome to the fold.
