It's amazing what some people consider character assassination. Give me a
break! It's not like we're cussing them or telling lies about them.
There is absolutely NO reason why a person with 2,000 finds can't have at
least 1 hide. Even a person who travels for a living should be able to
manage that. I'll go one step further & say that anyone with 100 or more
finds and doesn't have at least 1 placement is taking advantage of the game
& those who work hard place caches.
This hits especially close to home for me since I live in a relatively cache
poor area. If it weren't for Aquila & Ladyhawk & myself, there would be
almost no caches in the Quincy, Hannibal, Keokuk area.
I respect all of your opinions, but we'll just have to agree to disagree on
this one.

- It has been an interesting day. Just last night I wrote that this list pretty much takes care of itself. No hassles, no muss, no fuss.
Low and behold here comes today.
It was a beautiful day. A day that I would think everyone would be out hiking in the woods, looking around for stuff. Instead, I come home to find a big pile of worthless character bashing. Which if I remember correctly is sort of against the terms of use for this newslist. But, never mind that, the discussion in general is interesting.
To discuss the generalities of hide to find ratios, micro to traditional cache densities, what exactly is required for a cache to become a listable cache and all manners of other topics is good for the community in general. However, to start mentioning that old blind bob hides pitifully easy caches or that the wild willy team takes too long to find caches ect, so on and so forth are not really all that interesting or useful here.
The fact of the matter is that everyone plays the game differently. Some folks are finders, others contribute by hiding caches. Not all cache finders place good caches, that is just a fact. I would rather everyone contribute as they feel comfortable and do what they are good at rather than throwing out a hundred or so junk caches just to fufill someones idea of a good cache ratio.
Sure enough, this whole game depends on cache hiders to give the rest of us caches to find but if a cacher feels that they cant live up to the local community standards and doesn't place any caches, well, darn the luck, it's our loss but it is not any big crime.
So, continued character smearing on this list will not continue. To do so would not be prudent at this juncture.
I hope y'all got to find some caches today. It was a beauty of a day.
Thanks a million and carry on,
