  1. How about, "Your cache is a testament to mundania. Tha motto of Groundspeak is, 'The Language Of Location'. Can you share with the rest of the world why this boring lamp post, smack dab in the middle of a 500 acre, exhaust laden, sweltering, blacktop hell, was so special that it rated a geocache? Please, for the love of Gaia, if you insist on utterly boring people to tears, (which is certainly your right), could you stick to such hobbies as watching paint dry, or listening to grass grow, and leave the geocache placements to those who are not afraid to walk more than 5' from their air conditioned SUV? Thanks." YES +1000 Reading a log like that would still be better than "TFTC". Plus it lets future finders know without a doubt that this is a boring LPC, but also encourages creative log writing. I'm a weirdo who likes to find the occasional LPC. Especially after a longer search and/or string of DNFs it's nice to go to one you know will be easy.
  2. I would like to see such people blocked from hiding new caches or at least given a stern warning from the reviewer next time they submit a cache. These people have an illness (compulsive cache hiding) and need professional help. OCCHD - Obsessive, Compulsive, Cache Hiding Disorder. I honestly believe that there is such a thing. Don't forget the OCCFD (Obsessive, Compulsive, Cache Finding Disorder). There are people who force themselves to do caches that they don't enjoy, just because they have an obsessive need to find every cache in their area. Unfortunately for me, I think I have OCCFD Especially those in my home area. I HAVE to find them all! That leads into one of my 'irks'...NOT being able to find a cache. I'll look sometimes for an hour or more before I give up. I HATE it when I'm looking in an area that I most likely will not be able to return to (i.e. vacation spot) and not be able to find it. In that situation I try to pick the ones that I will enjoy most so I guess it's the feeling that I've wasted valuable time. However I do have to admit that some of my favorite adventures have come from a DNF On another note, my biggest 'irk' is the TFTC logs. But I realize that everyone plays the game in his or her own way, so the best thing to do is just overlook those. I wish Groundspeak would put a Like feature on logs. With the competitive spirit involved in this game I think that would go a long way in encouraging people to create more fun/detailed logs. Especially if there was a counter similar to the number of finds. At least it would give us some sort of feedback. Writing out a funny, detailed log and then feeling like no one ever reads (enjoys) it is a little disappointing.
