Our corporate contact is still working on things.
I cant imagine that they would allow them either but until they say to
"remove all current caches", i wont remove them. I guess it is all in
the loopholes. Saying that "we no longer have permission to hide caches"
is not the same as saying "all current caches must be removed".
I am sure they will catch on after a while. :-) By then I am hoping
the issues are resolved.
Personally, I never liked the caches. Permission or not they are in
violation of the "no commercial caches" part of the guidelines but most
reviewers looked the other way for some reason. Before permission was
granted cachers were trespassing on private property which is also
really not supposed to be allowed. Again, a lot of folks looked the
other way. Most of these caches can be found without the need of a GPS.
Just look at the map, then look under the washing machine or other
similar object on the porch. Since this is a GPS based game, most of
these caches are rather pointless and were allowed to placed to bring
some business to the CB. There ARE a few good ones around where you
better have a GPS but that is not the norm.
You will notice that there are only a couple of these cache in Mo. That
is not an accident.

Glenn, I know the decision hasn't been made on archiving, but I don't
see why they'll allow them to stay. If the lawyers have problems with
new ones, I can't see how they'll allow old ones to stay.
