If we do it this way I will never get another
congratulatory note or reach another milestone. I have
passed the 100 and am a LONG way from 500 (will
probably never reach it) I don't mind sending a note
to anyone for any milestone. I think each 100 caches
found deserves congratulations as to some like me who
live so far from the "cache centers" that to reach
another 100 IS a major milestone. Bruce specifically
asked us not to congratulate him on the 100 cache
marks after he reached his first 1000 but I don't see
where it is costing us anything to offer a quick note
of congratulations on a job well done for each 100 up
to 1000 or even after that. Just my humble opinion of
course but you must remember that not all of us live
where we can pick up 100 caches in a weekend.
