+Reviewer Niatpac Nagrom Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Well, I think it's time to step out... From now on the Finns can write to me in finnish, but I wish you others use english, although I do understand swedish pretty well, and also some danish and norwegian.

+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hmmm.. The same day we get a snailmail from you with a big heart inside... Scary Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Btw, I really liked when you were a secret... I even doubt if I was the approver sometimes because we had the same thoughts... It seems that the event in Finland was fun today... Did anyone bring a camera and took photos of all the shocked cachers? Link to comment
+Captain Morgan Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 There was many cameras - but the situation was over so fast that and almost everybody seemed a bit surprised so nobody took a photo, which in fact is a shame, now when I think it... Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 So now have you started a trend where cachers will come out of the closets? Okay, it's now Mr Hedbergs turn to come out of the closet! I do normally drink Cola Light (Diet Coke) in front of the computer, while eating chocolate bars (not Diet ) Link to comment
+Divine Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) So now have you started a trend where cachers will come out of the closets? I have a nipple piercing. Hmmm..

+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 He must be in love with you! Well, I wonder what my wife thinks about that? She opened the mail and called me and told me about the cool heart (it's really VERY COOL!).. She didn't seem to be upset about me receiving a red heart from a Finn... Divine, if you ever will come to Göteborg - you must grab the "Devil" travelbug that only are in Göteborg caches.. On a tag on the bug are the correct coordinates to Hell... Link to comment
+kalman Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 (edited) Well, I think it's time to step out... From now on the Finns can write to me in finnish, but I wish you others use english, although I do understand swedish pretty well, and also some danish and norwegian. Cheers, Tahu Nuva alias Captain_Morgan&Family I was pretty sure that you were a Finn since most of your messages were written in English and just few of them in Swedish and those few were quite short notes. Now I understand why Tahu has pinned so many Captains messages and why they are so close From now on I will write to you in Norwegian, try to manage with that, I have some Norwegian friends who are willing to help me with that kalman Edited January 17, 2004 by kalman Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I thought he was Swedish, I even suspected who it could be... Hmmm... Now I understand why Captain didn't allow any of my new caches, I tried to bribe him with Absolut Vodka - I should had choosed Finlandia instead (JUST A JOKE!!!!) Link to comment
Cholo Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I have a nipple piercing. This is supposed to be surprising? Don't you people run directly from a hot sauna and jump into an ice cold pond? Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I assume that a person that volontary runs from a hot sauna and jumps into ice cold water must be under the influence of vodka - A LOT OF VODKA! Link to comment
Kopaka Nuva Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Welcome out Tahu! I will follow your example later on... But until then only the Toa´s knows who the Swede is, I hope! Kopaka Nuva Link to comment

+hedberg Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hmmm, my only question... Would you like to tell your friends that you are an adult that have lived inside a closet since january playing with LEGO toys? The normal adult reaction is to call the guys in an ambulance, you know, the ones with "I-wanna-hug-myself"-longsleeve shirts in bright white color. Link to comment

Regards Lewa Nuva Helping 'Lewa Nuwa' out of the closet ... According to incoming mails it seems to me that it's the Danish geocacher 'DK-Kronborg' who hides behind the alias 'Lewa Nuva' ... or maybe they just share a son named Daniel and a computer ... ???

My stupidity seems to forget to log out and in as the right user. So i might just say it loud. Lewa Nuva is DK-Kronborg and DK-Kronborg is Lewa Nuva.

+Captain Morgan Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 who do i have to blame ArktiS! I agree... If someone has chosen to stay anonymous, why some people have to do everything they can to ruin the anonymity. Link to comment
+jeske Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Bravo Captain Morgan - just my words. I really think it's a shame that people - like approvers can't obtain full anynomity if they wish too. Whats the benifit of trying to expose them ?? I really don't know - and I don't approve. Link to comment
+hedberg Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 A lot of Swedish geocachers knows who Kopaka is, but they haven't said it officially... It is up to Kopaka to do it... But there have been a lot of funny remarks... Link to comment
Mesu Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 It is up to Kopaka to do it... Yes, of course, but since this is not al-Qaida, the people representing the community towards members need not use pseudonyms. I'm very happy that our Finnish Lego brother is no more anonymous.

+Divine Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 since this is not al-Qaida, the people representing the community towards members need not use pseudonyms. I was always wondering about valid argument against anonymity, but that's the one, of course. Link to comment
+hedberg Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Mesu, did you miss the finnish debate when Tahu Nuva was a new reviewer? I do understand that some people choose to stay unknown to the public... Link to comment
Kopaka Nuva Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 A lot of Swedish geocachers knows who Kopaka is, but they haven't said it officially... It is up to Kopaka to do it...

+Captain Morgan Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 But what comes to Mesu's comment about a-Qaida, I think it was a bad comparison. In Nordic or Baltic countries we don't have any big argues between geocachers - fortunately, but in some parts of the world there is really big wars going on, and I do understand more than better that reviewers in those areas wish to stay anonymous. Now, when I've been out of the closet about 6 months or so, I can see still one benefit of being anonymous here in Finland. As you know, this is volunteer job, a hobby, not a work. So, we are reviewing caches when we have time for it, but usually within the promised 72 hours limit. But obviously some peoples have not given any thought to that and they expect that we review caches almost immediately after they have submitted a new cache to geocaching.com. I must say that I'm not too happy to receive phone calls like "Hey, I submitted a new cache two minutes ago, can you review it now?" Fortunately those calls are still rare...

Regards, Olli (I haven't call Tahu...) But why do you publish your phonenumber in that case on geocaching.com? As I said earlier, I do understand reviewers who choose to stay "under-cover"...
