I leave it up to me, based on the circumstances. I find this to be a satisfactory technique that doesn't make a mess out of the universe.

Effective techniques: Fake cell phone conversations Small children or dogs used as props Really, really good squirrel disguises (spend more than $300 - the cheap ones don't work. Seriously, you need a really good one to be effective). Techniques that inevitably fail: Real cell phone conversations Fake children or dogs used as props Cheap squirrel disguises Techniques that can go either way: Pouring a can of vegetable soup on briansnat's shirt and a cup of water on the crotch of his pants. Gargling with a little vodka and then start talking to him. Being overly cheerful

What? There are only six geocaches in the entire country?? I wonder why so few caches? Madagascar is not a small island, and there are like 20 million people who live there. Laws? Limited Internet? The GPS satellites missed that spot? The fossa?

You just love to argue, don't you?

Interesting - I didn't know this. I stand corrected.

I'm not so sure the owner of the archived cache would feel the same way, though. Uh, it's the cache owner's responsibility to check for proximity before placing a cache. Maybe he should have been more thorough. In this particular case, the person who placed the cache too close to another nearby Premium Member Only cache was not himself a PM, so the location of the nearby PM cache would not have been know to him. The owner of the cache that was later archived made this very argument on the cache page after his cache was archived.

There's a limit to the distance a cache owner can move a cache without reviewer involvement (I think the distance is 100 feet). So if two caches started out 528 feet apart, and each cache was moved 100 feet by its owner directly towards the other cache, they'd still be 328 feet apart. In any case, this particular mystery has been solved, and the newer of the two caches have been archived.

By the way, at the moment the domain name www.paleocaching.com is available.

Pretty amazing story. But the challenge of keeping something dry while left untouched underwater for a very long time is quite different than the challenge of keeping moisture out of a land-based container that is opened and closed regularly by random people.

Tom Glavine?

That one I got right!

Poor toz.

Shop nine niner, or Shop Ninety niner? Hey - anybody remember ju66l3r?

I would have pronounced it "NEER-uh-dee".

So, it's like "toe-oh-sigh-ee-nahm-boh-koo"?

You're kidding, right? It's really BRIGH-un-snat, isn't it? Rhymes with "lion cat"?

Hmmm - I always pronounce it "defects" That's got too many vowels. As does my pronunciation of your name. Which, up until now, has been "DIFF-icks"

Seriously? Or are you just messing with us? I thought it was "sigh-oh-NEE-vah".

I've always pronounced it vee-AIR-oh pair-DEE-doh. And I roll the R's. Is that close?

The C&D 01 cache has a log posted on July 3rd that says: "On June 30 we began caching at C&D 01 and continued west until we hit a roadblock between C&D 36 and 37. A construction worker told us that the rest of the canal trail was closed for driving AND for walking. We asked about access from the West end and were told the whole trail and the high roads were closed. He said this would last a year but the trail would reopen at 5:30pm on weekdays and would be open on weekends. Assuming this is true you might want to plan C&D 01-54 on a weekend or in late afternoon."

After reading a few posts in various topics tonight, I suddenly realized that the correct pronunciation of some geocaching names (based on the way they are spelled in the forums) may actually be very different than the way their owners intend them to sound. Mine is pronounced just as it is spelled: cash-test-DUM-eeze. Are you sure you are pronouncing other people's geocaching names correctly? How is your geocaching name pronounced?

I start with "Are you geocaching?". If they say "Yes!" or "What gave us away?!" or if they approach me, put their left hand on my right shoulder (standing at arms length), and begin to dance around me in a circle while skipping and singing (very loudly) "Geocachers are we! Runy muny mee! Yaba daba baba. He, he, he!", then I introduce myself by my real name, followed by my geocaching name. If, on the other hand, they look at me like I'm dorqie, or reach for their phone while backing away slowly, or attempt to conceal themselves in a nearby patch of poison ivy or behind a giant hogweed plant, I say "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

No one has suggested that teachers are more deserving of a discounted membership than anyone else. Some people contributing to this discussion are inventing controversy where none actually exists.

The unasked question would be, If not, Why not? There were no unasked questions in the OP. There was only an asked question. I believe BlueDeuce provided the correct suggestion for obtaining the actual answer.
