- I feel the same way.. I think 100, 500 and every 500 there after should be good. In the early days, it was almost impossible to get 100 caches.. There wasn't 100 in St. Louis back when Glenn, Barry, Rich and Dave started caching. However, today if someone was really serious, they could cache hard for a week and easily get 100. 1000 should be recognized with a gift. Each 1000 should hold something special. Most of us will never get to 1000 nor do we have time to. Those who do, really put their time into the sport. I think our milestones should be recognized on the website. I just feel that posting a message in the newsgroup for every 100 is not necessary. I too know that others will disagree. However, people could just as easily send an email to that person. We only get a handful now a days who ever recognize them and then it's a lot of "me too's." I think it would be better if we just stuck to the website on everything except 100, 500 and every 500 thereafter. JMHO.. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernhard G.
