- There is no guilt trip. He just doesn't understand why a SLAGA SPONSORED event is not SUPPORTED by it's MEMBERS more. =20 Which is a good reasonable question. The members of SLAGA need to realize that this is not "Mike's game". As stated above, it is a SLAGA sponsored event. As with any CLUB, when an event is put on by the CLUB, the CLUB would expect and hope it's members would participate, whether that be volunteering or taking part in the activity. =20 Bruce and Geo Jim made good points as to why the higher number cachers do not participate. I tend to agree with Bruce. There is a lot of power caching with the higher number caches. They are not out in the woods, with hills, and hills, and more hills, they are in the cities, rushing from one to another. In reply to Dan and Geo Jim on the stats thing. Some people have never really been into the stat thing. They log, to say they FOUND it, not to put a point on their tally. You can tell by their logs. =20 Everyone needs to relax and enjoy the sport. Enjoy it the way they like to enjoy caching.

There may be any number of reason why cachers don't join, money, time commitment, like caching as an individual sport, not a group sport, schedule conflict, etc. What I don't understand is why it is taken so personally that not everyone enjoys the same things as the organizers. This is not grade school. Just because not everyone wants or can come to your game, doesn't mean there is something wrong with them. -Jen =20 **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw
