+The Weasel Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Why does the first American Pie movie come to mind? Quote
+Agent X Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Dumb question, but is a sock puppet account also one created by a cacher who wishes to hide a cache and not have local cachers know that he hid it? In other words, to avoid giving local cachers a sense of how best to hunt a cache based on previous caches hidden, one creates a second account and hides the cache under that account? Is that also a sock puppet account? Quote

Is that also a sock puppet account? The sock puppet is not specific to geocaching ... sock puppet n. [usenet: from the act of placing a sock over your hand and talking to it and pretending it's talking back] In Usenet parlance, a pseudo through which the puppeteer posts follow-ups to their own original message to give the appearance that a number of people support the views held in the original message.
