+El Diablo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I wish that more of our overseas friends would join in here. I would love to get their perspectives on some of these subjects of late. Divine keeps trying to find a contest where overseas cachers can participate.... Congratulations Divine...you just won a hiking staff!!

+Bloencustoms Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I suppose this staff will have horns and a pitchfork. Congrats Divine. Those are some nice hiking staves. [This message was edited by Bloencustoms on March 32, 1999 at 25:60 PM] Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 You think there is controversy here. You should read their forums. Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 I wonder how long it will take Divine to see this thread? I'm betting by 11am est tomorrow. El Diablo Everything you do in life...will impact someone,for better or for worse. http://www.geo-hikingstick.com Quote Link to comment
+Divine Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 quote:Originally posted by El Diablo:I wonder how long it will take Divine to see this thread? I'm betting by 11am est tomorrow. It's Sunday, about 2 am here now (UTC+2...or wait, is it UTC+3 now at the daylight saving time?). Didn't go to sleep yet. Uh, WOW, what can I say? I jump into every other thread whining about the great distance I have to the world's densest cache areas, or wanting kilometers instead of miles etc etc. Hopefully I haven't been too annoying. But hey, I am supposed to be annoying as a member of the Evil Horde of El Diablo. El Diablo, I'm deeply honored, and honestly, I have actually pondered ordering one of your staffs for a Xmas present or something for myself. So far it has been only a vague idea in my head, but apparently you read minds from very far away. Let me know what I can do to make things easy for you. As for being a 'foreigner' in the forums, there have been other great people here too...Erwast, Captain_Morgan&Family my countrymen, Anders from Sweden, Laogai, Blacky mit Silke+Carsten and Cornix from Germany just to mention few. As a member of minority in this forum I still don't want to represent some kind of ultimate Finnish ideology on any subject. My opinions are mine, not official international opinions presewnted by 'that Finnish guy with horns'. I just want to pull my weight about keeping this global activity really global. So far I've had a great time, both here in forums and especially out there on the track. (Today's saldo: 4 found caches in the rain.) Thanks everyone for discussions, and especially El Diablo for this honor. (Man, do I really deserve this?!) - I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory. - Quote Link to comment

The UK one is pretty peaceful, actually. We had a hot time of it a few months ago, but the main (US cacher dominated) forums seem to have two or three incandescent threads going at any given time. evilrooster http://www.bookweb.sunpig.com -the email of the species is deadlier than the mail- Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 I have skimmed the international fourms from time to time. compared to the U.S and Canada they are tame.

+Doc-Dean Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Glad to see Divine get some appreciation. I have debated with him in the past and he is quite insightful... And having the horns installed has gotta hurt!! --------------------------------------- Free your mind and the rest will follow Quote Link to comment

evilrooster Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Well, after reading this thread, specifically Renegade Knight's comment, I browsed some of the other national threads. (Didn't have time to do US-regional.) What's with some of the Canadians? Something in the water? I kept wishing for a FAQ to grasp the history of the arguments. At least the UK threads stayed on topic, no matter how heated they got. I can't even figure out what most of the Canadian comments mean, apart from the fact that they are mean. On a more serious note, reading them made me wish there were some way of exporting the atmosphere in my region... evilrooster http://www.bookweb.sunpig.com -the email of the species is deadlier than the mail- Quote Link to comment

+Touchstone Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Congrats Divine! And good choice Diablo. Divine has been a great contributor to the discussion and well deserving of the staff. Power to the Evil Horde Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. The rest go geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+boulist44 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Being an Englishman living in France I read and contribute to the Forums, however, by the time I've worked out what my caching friends over the pond are saying, worked where the thread has been and where it's going, I've run out out of server time. Perhaps someone somewhere could find pop up translations for us. On a serious note, thanks to you all for the interesting participations and amusing comments Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 I had a job where I conversed with people from all over the world on a daily basis. One of the biggest things I noticed...was how layed back they were. I would like to see them bring some of that attitude in the America fourms.
