  1. Does anyone have the cords on this benchmark? I live in vegas and none of us seem to be aware of its location!
  2. I sent a request for a couple of coins a few days ago and still haven't heard anything. Just wanted to make sure you received the request. thank you.

  4. Groundspeak/Geocaching changed the website in May so that you can't change your username any longer. I don't want to start up a new profile and lose all of my finds.
  5. I agree, you have 4 GPS units and YOU KNOW, sure as anything, you're still going to come up 25 ft. from the cache!
  6. I've googled my real name before, but the information that comes up is non-specific as far as my location. Here's another issue: my picture is all over the geocaching site because I've done a few virtual caches that require a picture post. So now, do I delete the picture? Will the owner allow that? I know it's the information age and public domain, but shouldn't it stop somewhere?
  7. I just wanted to make everyone aware of the following issue: Google has now tagged every single person that has an account with www.geocaching.com. I went to Google the other day and typed in my geocaching nickname and quite a few things came up (because I use the same nickname for other sites), including several of my geocaching logs and my profile. You can try it for yourself too. I can't imagine that no one doesn't think this is a big deal, but I'm a little freaked out. I don't mind opening up and sharing my life with fellow geocachers, but I don't like the idea that ANYONE in the WORLD can pull up my information and a picture of me, and from my logs, possibly be able to figure out the area in which I live. I'm not upset with the geocaching site and I'm not going to cancel my account, but I also don't want to "start over" by opening a new account and changing my nickname obviously doesn't work. I just found an e-mail address for Google, so I'll report this to them and see what they say. Anyone else's opinion?
