Your last line is spot on. Its really comes down to the person. Ive not placed a cache yet,but I'm in the planning stage to place a multi. I dont consider myself an experienced geocacher by any stretch of the word but I know im a meticulous and conscientious person who prides himself by what I put out to the world. The last thing I want is people thinking my one and only cache is total crap. So ive taken the time to research what makes a good cache by finding a few myself and by reading what others like and dont like. But again thats just me. I dont want to embarrass myself to the geocache community.
