Remember when we were kids and our oponent did something we didn't agree
with when we were playing games regardless of whether it was against the
rules or not. That's kind of what this sounds like. Personally I would
probably email the cacher and explain you don't really feel it was a find
but if they preferred to keep it as a find then just let them. Anyone who
looks at their caches found and reads their log can make a decision based on
their beliefs as a cacher. Let the person who logged its words speek for
them. I think I know how the majority of us feel about this but, hey, I'm
just playing by the written rules or are they written suggestions.
That's my 2 cents worth,
HFF
