Moss Trooper Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I would like to inform you that after the way this forum has gone this last few days, has totally sickened me. The iceing on the cake being an abhorent post by wossa and that so called humerous clip.. Ask my Son in the Gulf how humerous it was the day he went into Basrah. You will all no doubt be aware of the time and effort Tim and June have out into getting some form of recognition on the quirky British Caches.. Now most of it will be in the hands of the US admin. This means that the majority of caches will have to conform entirely to the US based guidelines. Anyways people.. I'll be off.. will just do what I started 2 years ago.. Bye.. PS.. in 12 - 24 months time when the wole of the UK has tight restrictions on geocaching.. and I'm wizzing round on my wizzer frame I can look back and say.. Told you so with a knowing smile on my face as I hang up be GPS and reach fer the paint brush.. Isn't Life Grand,, Moss the Boss... Sorta Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Good grief. Moss, please don't. I can understand about the stupid cartoon clip (couldn't even view it for some technical reason: my own brother is still out there, thankfully in one piece), please rise above it.

+Chris n Maria Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Oh no Mossy not you too Well it seems to be true that people often get the "government" they deserve. Another sad loss to the Geocaching community. A big thanks for all your hard work and everything you have done for the game over the years. Please reconsider. Bear rescues a speciality!

+Flackadder Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Sorry to hear that people are 'standing down'. There I am just getting into all this and I feel I am now being abandoned. People must do what they feel is best. We may not agree with peoples dicisions, but lets at least respect them Bob.... http://www.bobh.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Moss. Thanks for all you've done over the last couple of years. Hope your son is back soon and that you enjoy finding more caches before you reach your dotage. Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote Link to comment
+Kouros Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Why does this feel like the party that ends early after the drunken row? I'm sorry to see you go Moss. Please reconsider. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote Link to comment
+The Bennett Family Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Just adding our voice to those asking you to reconsider. We take our children everywhere, but they always find their way back home... Quote Link to comment
Rockratgirl Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I have no idea of the post to which you are referring but I'm sickened that anyone would post anything offending British troops in any way. I expect you are my "local" rep, despite the 100 odd miles between us. I am unsure as to why you feel the need to resign. Just because there has been some heated discussion on an internet forum, is this a reason to throw the towel in? *confused* Sam ~ Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own Canoe ~ ~ We can't run away for ever ... but theres nothing wrong with getting a good head start ~ Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 probably summat to do with the unshakeable feeling of being dumped on from a great height by the very people Moss was in a position to help. Quote Link to comment

Sorta Excuse me? My stupidity? You represented the North I presume. My fiance made comments which upset a small amount of people (the majority being in the South) on here. Is this reason enough to throw the towel in?

el10t Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I don't wish to be rude but what part of Moss's message is confusing? Seems clear enough to me. Where did anyone say Moss "represented the North"? Over the time I have been caching I have always felt represented by him despite being almost as far South as you can get. Thoroughly nice bloke too. Rich mobilis in mobili Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 <polite request> The Rockratgirl pairing : Steve and Sam Over the last couple of days there has been a great deal of fast reading and posting being done. I know from your side it has been annoying that some posts have been adressed at one of you in reply to the others posts. Is it possible to seperate your forum personalities even though you may cache as a team? I know you sign your posts with your own names but it can be confusing when everyone gets het up and we see one name and avatar. Only a suggestion. </polite request> quote: upset a small amount of people (the majority being in the South) There really is no difference between North and South in geocaching terms. Most of the time we don't take any notice of where anyone comes from. And in my case, if you decided I was one of these highly offended/offensive Southerners you would be making an incorrect assumption as I was born in Otley and am only in the south doing missionary work to try and get them to cook some decent fish and chips!

Rockratgirl Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Good luck with that work then Kennamatic! The food conversion I mean - I used to live in Headingley and love caching in the West Yorks area. I was born in East Anglia, have Yank parentage, was raised in France and am therefore entirely without nationality! Having a separate Avatar would be a good idea - can I do that? My other half suffers from a personality disorder discribed by Karl Gustaf Jung as "the Che Guevara complex". This condition is mainly kept under control by my other half, in so far as he doesn't travel the world inciting revolution. But nevertheless if he perceives an oppressor vs. the oppressed situation the personality disorder will kick in. Makes for confrontations daily but he drives me to the caches and cooks a mean curry so I put up with it PS. Sorry this is so far off post Moss - and I "presumed" you were the rep for "oop North" as you were the closest to here. It was our understanding that only people with local knowledge approved caches etc. Wrong! I'm still learning (eagerly!).

It's probably a case of changing the avatar in "your account profile" to the correct one for whoever's posting although that might be bit of a bind. I know that some of the others who had this would ocasionally post with the wrong avatar because they forgot to change it. Anyway, there are plenty of people reading this who will know.

+washboy Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I think the idea is to create gc.com accounts for each individual, to be used in forums only. Login under the appropriate ID when posting in the forums but login under the 'team name' to log cache finds, etc. I think the avatar image is applied real-time as the forum page is downloaded, rather than each historical forum post retaining the image it had at the time it was created - if you see what I mean. Anyway, I'm sure Paul or Mike Blitz will be along presently to share their experience, in this respect. ===== There's no such thing as a free lunchbox! Quote Link to comment
