cacheferret

Has anyone loaded the new firmware yet? I got the email about it a week or so ago and tried to download it last night. When I try to run Garmin's self-extracting exe I get an error message. I downloaded it twice and the same thing happened both times.

Actually, the contest specifies one entry per person and those who enter more are disqualified, so I guess not. Nice pictures though - maybe if you just specify which one is the entry?

In my opinion, this is one of the downsides to the relative anonymity of internet as a substitute for other forms of social interaction. I think people routinely post things that they would never say in person. Sometimes common courtesy and a willingness to just live and let live are too much to ask of some folks. Sometimes folks are just trolls - they get some glee from causing a flamewar. That's a shame, but there isn't much to be done for it. Full time moderation of all posts would be an onerous task. A lot of folks around here seem to be good at recognizing trolls and calling them out. If all of us can avoid taking the bait and responding to or trying to rebutt the trolls, they'd give up sooner. Sometimes folks read too much into what is posted and see an attack when none was intended. Part of the limitation of this form of communication. This is less formal than people were when writing snail mail letters and it can lead to misunderstandings. When we type like we speak we can forget that nobody can see all the non-verbal cues that are associated with speech and add meaning. Sometimes all the smilies in the world don't make it clear. All that said, these forums are far better than many I've seen.

Well, my forum namesake is well known for this type of behavior. Every cache he was made in my house consists mostly of socks - clean and dirty. He will take them from the basket before they are folded, the folded pairs, and he will move them from the pile next to the washer. The only thing he seems to like better is a damp washcloth! I'd probably visit this cache and I'd probably make it a point to find a really odd pair of socks to deposit.
