Hello noob here. I am so thankful that when I started I reviewed the forums. Otherwise I wouldn't have known about all the newbie no no's. In regard to logging, I do write about my experience because I am excited and want the CO to know that I appreciate them and get their hints. But if I didn't read the forums and only went by previous loggers examples I would be one of the naughty noobs. I see many many experienced cachers write TFTC only, on every log they write (the ones I see). I see many old timers do this. I also see some with the same wording on every log, long para about their trip or day but nothing about cache. Could it be that noobs see these experienced cachers doing this and maybe they think that is the preferred way? Logging by example. Also if it is an option on the app why would a noob do it differently? Noobs just want to fit in. Everyone was a "stupid 6th grader" at one time. A sincere thanks to all who made this a fun game for this newbie!

I've been a ranter since the smartphone apps came out. It was probably 2009 it came out for the iphone, but it was in the winter/spring of 2010 when I had a conversation with another cacher who asked "why are all these newbies logging our caches with Tftc"? And I said "you're right, why are they, what's up with that"? That conversation really happened. And I would like to point out my only problem EVER with the smartphone revolution is the lame logging. Two words or less, often manifested by Tftc. I don't know what it is man, but it's to the point where lame logging is universal for newbies. And I wouldn't doubt 95%+ of newbies are finding and logging with a smartphone.
