Remember when we were kids and our oponent did something we didn't agree
with when we were playing games regardless of whether it was against the
rules or not. That's kind of what this sounds like. Personally I would
probably email the cacher and explain you don't really feel it was a find
but if they preferred to keep it as a find then just let them. Anyone who
looks at their caches found and reads their log can make a decision based on
their beliefs as a cacher. Let the person who logged its words speek for
them. I think I know how the majority of us feel about this but, hey, I'm
just playing by the written rules or are they written suggestions.
That's my 2 cents worth, HFF

Sorry about responding so late, but RL has seen fit to make me unusually busy the last two weeks.
While the ultimate decision on the log belongs to the cache owner, the
game itself is really being played by and for each individual player. If
Mr. X feels that finding the spot is equivalent to finding the cache, then
thats how he sees the game. Personally, I log DNF ans DNF, even when it's
obvious the cache is MIA and I knew where it should have been (Tower Grove
II comes to mind: 4 separate visits, 3 DNF) - but for *me*, the challenge
isn't finding the spot itself, it's trading the toy (or the WG$) from
within the cache.
It's important to remember that this kind of game is essentially a form of
modestly assisted solitaire - and only the player can decide what his or
her own individual goals are.
I would let the log stand, but I would also not on the site that the cache
is MIA and that the last entry counts only for the logger.
