Jim,
Glenn has told me that unless the cache is marked as 'Needs Maintenance' or
'Needs Archived', he probably won't see it since he has his radar set on
those attributes. I'd guess the Illinois Reviewer has the same type of
filtering in place. If you have 1000's of caches to be responsible for, you
need some way of being alerted that you have an issue. The cache you are
mentioning isn't marked with any attribute that'd would bring it to the
attention of the reviewer. If you are concerned, then put a 'Needs
Maintenance' attribute on it so it raises a flag for the reviewer. I agree
with Laurie and unless I've been out to see the cache myself, I wouldn't put
the 'Needs Archived' attribute on it.
Steve
It's not only the destination but the path you take and the friends you make
along the way
