  1. Oh dear ... Dave - you've made the old mistake of rising without reading. What was displayed was how the US thought processes might be working followed by Doing the old 'gag' about hard work is irrelevant. The forums are indeed quiet, but if this thread reflects anything (and it may) it is simply because GC.COM have not been seen to show any inclination to restore equilibrium to the UK. Quoting the DPA to me is silly: I lecture in it, operate it, and know it backwards. You are simply wrong - as is nearly every shop assistant and telephone operative who screams the same cry. Some confidentiality agreements may be applicable - thats fine. I am not going pander to US or other vindictiveness on any caches I submit, so it'll have to remain a sock puppet for the present, but doubtless the old US servers are doing IP scans at this very moment and feeding you back the answer to your question: issues of Data Protection?? You're a company man now and that is perfectly reasonable. The issue many of us have is with the direction of the company and then way it treats its punters, and those that gave their time freely. Two reviewers handed in their cards over this and four months on the 'motely crew' are nowhere nearer re-establishing a good and happy UK caching environment. We all know Dave that you are a good man in difficult personal circumstances out on a limb in north Wales. I understand your defensiveness but getting back the UK vibrancy wont happen through GC.COMs current approach - but they may not care. Or do they?
  2. As the one who started this thread - forgive me for intruding again. So far the view from the US seems to be utterly functional: we have a motely crew (no insult Dave) drawn from across the planet who can deal with the Uk. The forums are mostly trouble makers anyway and as long as the caches get out there, are found and there are no complaints - its a job well done. So there's no need to re-build a Uk team in a hurry and even if Dave threw the towel in we've shown actually a resident Uk reviewer is irrelevant. Hmmmmm .... actually true in part but somehow a souless view. Lets hope that this is NOT the official view.
  3. Apologies - sock puppet again for obvious reasons If it's the person who I think it is, then that person only nominated himself after a request was put out by Deceangi. It is a pity if that person isn't considered, as I know he put his name forward in good faith to assist the process. It really doesnt matter who does the work. Any idea that Seattle have; that the name in the frame is always secret is a total fairy land fantasy. The issues are, as ever with a 'middle manager role', representing the business but having the confidence of the staff and punters. There are probably 50 cachers who could fit that role - but probably only a tenth of that who have the time / inclination to fulfil it. GC.COM may think the 'Masonic Approach' is clever - well it isnt - all it breeds is resentment (except amongst the masons) - .... who did I pass the Masonic Geocoin onto? I have no idea who put themselves forward, but if the invitation to so do was a sly ploy to weed out those with ambitions of world domination; that does seem a bizarre way to run a business. But hey - its the USA - they do it their way. like my eco-color - US spelling!?
  4. Apologies for using a sock puppet account for this question Its now sometime since our esteemed and erstwhile team of reviewers fractured to leave just Dave in the saddle assisted by a motely (and helpful) crew across the pond. I think this period of quiet and calm has been useful but the UK needs more than 'one man and his dog' so to speak. Dave is placed under considerable pressure to add to the others he is already under. I know that GC.COM are aware, sympathetic and everything else - but - I think NOW, in the height of summer and geo-find time is probably a good time for Seattle, Dave and others to tell us what is happening and the expected time frames. So Dave - what are the plans for the next half of the year?
