What is the etiquette for contacting other members?

[+gr8johnson]

I wanted to contact someone and thank them and tell them about my caching experience. I just do not want to leave it in the log because it might ruin the hunt for some one else. Can I do this or is it frowned? Thanks.

Seems like a VERY GOOD reason to contact the owner.

I open up a member profile and there is an option to email. So far, no one has scolded me for writing.

if the "send email" link from the profile page works you're all set!

Sure, why not?

 

I think I would however encourage placing nice comments, where appropriate, in the log for all to see (since I use such comments myself when looking for caches to do outside my local area -- those with nice comments are good indications of a top notch hide). However, certainly comments which give away some aspect of the hide -- such as a comment about the type of container if it was unique, are better left for a personal note.

Thanks for the input gang. I would like to thank this owner especially since he is very local and has made it easy for a newbie to go after several caches without driving all over.
