I still fail to see the problem with puzzle caches. You are still using a GPS
to find the cache...you just have to work to get the coordinates. :)

Mike, that is a fair question. I would not say I am a "founder" but I was
actively involved in getting Geocaching established. I started in June
2001, am a charter (i.e., original) member of gc.com, and in the early days
I had more hides than anyone else in the world. You can judge for yourself
if that qualifies me to say what I think the original spirit was.
I am conservative when it comes to Geocaching. I think a better comparison
than the Amish, would be like someone not wanting to allow touchdowns in
baseball. With paperless caching, it is still about trying to find
something with a GPS. What will be interesting is when GPS get accurate to
a foot or inches. Then what do we do-intentially give bad cords????
