I've responded to this one already at TXGA but I'll throw my opinion out here too.
This issue isn't about FTF.
It's about cache owner's rights.
I would never put this requirement on one of my caches. But a cache owner puts time, money, effort, and creativity into his cache. He or she should have the right to put little zany rules on their cache of they want. You wouldn't restrict your cache. I wouldn't mine. But that's the point- it's YOUR cache.
Natural selection will take place. Enough dumb rules on your caches, and people will stop looking for them. But you have the right as a cache owner to look at your logless cache page if you want. When cache finders start sending cache hiders money for their efforts, then they can dictate rules to them.
FROM TXGA:
"As it is, FTF has way less to do with skill than work schedule, up to date internet access, timing of posting, and the like. That's why I'm surprised some cachers make such a big deal about FTF, because it doesn't indicate any special achievement, per se."
That thread discusses how to give FTF some significance, but that's another issue altogether.
It just seems to me this is all about the rights of the FTFer, and we're forgetting about the rights of the cache owner, however stupid their desires may be.
