I got into geocaching because it helped me get out of the house and actually do things by myself or with the family. It has worked very well lately. I use a pda with maps on it.
Big deal if someone uses a map program. They are out there enjoying the environment. Seems like some people worry too much about stats. I could care less who's the best, has the most, has found the most in certain amount of time.
Post's like this make me think what is the main purpose of geocaching.com? Stats? If it is, someone needs to open their eyes and look at the bigger picture before complaining about others stats and how they got 'em.
That's my 2 cents worth, I put a nickle in so I have one left.
