Again, this all boils down to personal choice. 

You may not like a lot of the caches out there, Jim, but many people do. I know 
you don't like puzzle caches and apparently don't like working on them (as 
evidenced by your map page that requests puzzle cache solutions in lieu of 
donations) but I personally like them, as do many others. Should they be banned 
just because you don't like them and have been around in this hobby a long time?

Let people enjoy caching as they see fit to enjoy it. You may not agree with 
it, 
but one person's feeling shouldn't be able to trump the feeling of others...

-Michael

Actually, lots of the number hounds cannot be bothered with taking the time to 
log a cache.  So they have developed shuffling.  They replace the first 
container with one with a signed log, they sign the log on the way to the next 
cache, and then replace the cache with the previous cache.  Then they act like 
they are super cachers.

I've been thinking of a cache and calling it the "Yellow Jeep Cache."  It would 
be an ammo box with 30 black decoy film canisters.  Then there would be a clear 
film canister that is the real cache.  You will be able to log it every time 
you 
put the clear one back in and refind it.  I think I would limit it to 5,000 
finds a day (and each could be a FTF in its new location).  I would only 
require 
them to sticker the log once and then put how many times they found it on the 
log.
