ime (and certainly also other Austrian geocachers) expected an announcement by a Groundspeak official (as an act of courtesy). I am quite sure that he was already aware of the announcement in your blog (your forum might not be a good link to provide as you propagate your own geocaching forum as a private forum where you act as a normal geocacher and not as a reviewer). Cezanne Sorry, but please read carefully who announced the implementation in the Austiran countries in the Austrian geocaching forums. It was not mine. It was another volunteer reviewer of Groundspeak. This forums aren't private. They are available for any people who like to read it. The key issue in that regard is that no one before in the thread has asked a question about your role in the process or has made any complaint about you. All the cachers that have requested the feature over the period of many years (not only in forum threads, also via direct communications with Groundspeak) have done what they could do (i.e., essentially not much which is not surprising as it only depends on Groundspeak what they decide to implement and when they decide to do so.) Cezanne So everything is fine, when everybody did what everybody could do.

I'm sorry, but I can't follow your meanings. I do not sell anything as a success. I'm only happy, that this project is going forward. And I only said, that I have done what I could. not more and not less. I answered to imes posting, that this project will come to an solution in some days and that such an information is provided to the community as well. And that have nothing to do with the quality of any reviewer in the world. It may also not be a question of the respect to any community. Maybe there were other issues which brought us to the effect, that the Austrian Countries are implemented now. I feel happy about this will happen. And that joy is greater than any problems which were maybe in the past. Even when we wait for a long time.

Not long compared to 5 years ... You are right. But it doesn't depend on the time you (or anybody other) is waiting. It depends on the fact that somebody is doing something for. I did (even it is not my first responsibility) and as you can see at the above linked sites it will become reality soon. So I can't do more as I have done in the past and the result is that what many users in Austria are awaiting. For me that sounds like: Problem solved. I don't care about who is the first country with states on gc.com. For me the main issure is, that it will become truth. Don't ask me why nothing happend before I became a reviewer because I don't know.

Miss Jenn, as this was and is a user request (not a reviewer request) it would be reasonable and fair to inform the users as well. Thanks in advance, ime It is a reveiwer request since a long time also. Information for Austrian users is given in the Austrian Reviewer blog and the Austrian Geocaching Forums. See here and here. Maybe Google can help you to stay up to date too?

Wünsche allen ein Frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles erdenklich Gute für das neue Jahr aus Wien/Österreich! Wish to all merry Christmas and all thinkable good things for the new year from Vienna/Austria!
