I would like to reply to the Super Fly controversy over GC171MH . I am not happy with Groundspeak's decision regarding his cache. He obviously spent a lot of time making his container virtually invisible to the naked eye. Is this to mean that all the fake rocks in rock piles will need to be archived. Or how about my twig in a tree? It has been found several times, yet the same twig stuck in the center of a pile of rocks has only been found once. I have many cache containers that are difficult to find. Will my caches be next?
There are many other ways to handle this problem. We had a confirmed case of foolery near here in which the cache owner was ACTUALLY CAUGHT doing what they claim Super Fly is accused of. The word got around and whenever he publishes a cache NOBODY GOES LOOKING.
Do I believe Super Fly is capable of such deceit? IMPOSSIBLE! I have found several of his amazing, crafty, and shall I say ingenious containers. When I saw the picture, I immediately thought of a fake brick. I have one similar, though not as well made, as the one he says he made.
As I said before, I am not happy with Grounspeak's decision, but then, who am I but one of the thousands that pay their salaries and spread the word about geocaching. What damage can one disgruntled patron cost a company? Quite a lot, I would guess. You can ask my local car dealer. He lost $30,000 in one month due to only one disgruntled customer........
These sentiments are merely my own and do not reflect those of my caching partner Stinky, so don't take it out on him.
Sincerely Yours,
Ubear
