I've been reading the forums and there's been a discussion about what finders 
write online.

There's a strong school of thought that an online entry that reads something 
like this:

"TNLNSL.  TFTC"
(Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.  Thanks for the Cache)

is really geo code for

"Your cache sucks"

Is this true? 

If you leave logs like this -- is that what you are really thinking?
How much time do you spend writing in the physical logbook as compared to the 
cyber log?
As a placer do you get a kick out of reading logs or do you even care?

I'm just curious.  I like reading interesting logs -- whether or not they help 
with finding the cache.  And naturally, you can imagine, that as the log-writer 
on our little family team, some of "our" logs may..  digress...   Do those kind 
of logs "bother" you?

I swiped this post from the forums:

"I"'m surprised no one has stated the obvious. TNLNSL could be considered what 
folks in the quality industry call an indicator. 
-If you never see it in the logs the cache is probably stellar. 
-If you see it in the logs occasionally, either those individuals either didn't 
care for the cache, were tacitern9sp?), or were in a hurry. 
-If most of the logs are TNLNSL it may well be a stinker. 
-If [b]all[/n] the logs are TNLNSL you probably qant to put the cache on your 
ignore list. "

Does this hold true in this area? I think I've seen some TNLN entries on what 
others thought were good caches? Is this a "less is more" area LOL?

Just ..   things to discuss...
