I would rather a cacher place 0 caches than place some lousy caches with no
thought put into it.  And another thing to consider--I've actually placed 7
caches but adopted 4 out when I got orders (USAF).  My profile doesn't give
me credit for the hides I adopted out.  Tink-tink--there's my 2 cents.

Placing caches is not the only way to contribute to the game. Perhaps this
person runs a website, teaches classes, approves caches etc.

If our own reviewer Glenn never placed a cache could you say he didn't
contribute to the game. I would say not. We don't know what contributions Ma
and Pa make to the game. Perhaps they even have a team name or sock puppet
that they hide all there caches under. I know of a couple of accounts set up
just so that caching community doesn't know who is placing the caches for
one reason or another.

Sorry, I just don't think that placing caches is the only way to contribute
to the game.
