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
