I have appealed to Hydee to reconsider groundspeaks decision. Well I never received a reply to my email. I did not get a reply to my previous email either. I got blasted in the forums for using the forum to voice a complaint and not using the 'contact' email. Well I can agree that the forums are not the best place to resolve an issue, but there is no other option.

Then again, she may be delusional.

Carleen seems to have a very mature approach to life. I my case, I just don't take sh*t off anybody.

The approver and a link to his email are listed on every cache page, bottom left. All of the stooges post to the forums and most of them will make snide comments like eric's above. If the admin group posts personal comments like eric, what could possibly be considered off topic?

Carleen's experience is a parallel to my own. Homosexual's are not aggressive unless you are perceived as a potential partner. Once it is clear than sex is not an option they back off and become timid. Unless they are drunk.

Jomarac, No, I don't get it. The more you explain the murkier your argument becomes. The reality is that many male homosexuals are in the closet and many live dual lifestyles married to women. Discreetion is paramout. Homosexual men have taken over public areas in many cases in their efforts to satisfy their sexual needs in a covert setting.

I don't understand why Jomarac insists that the issue of homosexuality is not related to this thread. There is a sexual stigma associated with public rest stops and some public parks. The sexual stigma is not associated with heterosexual activity.

I am not sure what the reference is here. My comments have been directed at the admin group and their approach taken to enforce their own policies. If a cacher attempts to support the policies, admin either does nothing or they over react and crap in everyone's mess kit. I would like to see more consitancy as many of the other cachers have commented. I certainly don't appreciate the admin group placing the blame on the messenger. I would like to see this hobby run more like a business instead of being a business run like a hobby.

Based upon the comments in the thread below it is reasonable to conclude that delays in approvals may be based upon the personal bias of the approver. http://ubbx.Groundspeak.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=5726007311&f=4016058331&m=30460177 I have said it before and I will say it again.. "I wish this hobby were run like a business instead of being a business run like a hobby. YMMV

I thought the message was not to tap your foot...

A lot of the newer caches are right next to the parking lot. Hiking is becoming less and less a part of geocaching.

Uhhh, would those be the e-mails you addressed to conNOSPAMtact@geocaching.com? Well the net result is the same. At least this time I got a BOT response. Maybe I will frame it :=( Good night fellas, some of us have real jobs :-)

Lemme guess.... MoPark is an approver too? I have always been a Ford man.

Well this explains mtn-man's completely inappropriate comments on the geocaching responsibility thread. I was right and you were wrong. Obviously ******* Tennessee Geocacher, thanks for approving all my caches. You still owe me an apology for calling me a liar. I have made it a point to keep all my emails after I found out you tend to lose them. My complaints to contact@geocaching.com went unanswered of course, but I still have copies of the emails. Love you guys.

Is mtn-man an approver?

The cache I am refering to is:The Good Fight GCA491 I am not saying can this one, don't get me wrong. I am going by the info that the "grandfathering" were caches before Sept. 2002??? God bless you and your family, Team Bubba Cache I disagree. If I am right and they are wrong. They know it. Just don't be wrong.

Oh boy, here we go again. solohiker: I agree that you have a right to express your thoughts and feelings on this matter (and I agree with most of what you say), but your views (or mine, or anyone elses) about homosexuality don't have anything to do with caching and do not have a place in this forum. The discussion here is about caches placed in rest stops and the behaviour witnessed in some of these locations. It is not specifically about homosexuals, homosexuality, or homophobia (whatever that might be). Let's keep this discussion on track here and not let it get out of hand as it has before. ***** My comments are apropriate to the discussion contained in this thread. Your attempts to moderate the discussion are inappropriate.

I must have caught him when he was not sober.

I have found that most approvers can be beat into submission with a few misplaced facts and proper english. Jeremy, is a wild cannon.
