How much fun is that? People still do it and it doesn't make it right. If Foo Foo wants to see his hit count above everyone else the he'll have his 15 minutes of fame. What it does do is cheapen the efforts of everyone who has legitimately found the cache and signed the log. Some of the caches that Foo Foo has claimed he found were difficult ones that gave the legitimate finders a great sense of satisfaction when they actually signed the log. That effort is cheapened by someone who states that he "dropped by" to pick up a 4/4. It takes a great deal of effort and preparation than a "drop by" on a lot of these. The owners have done a significant amount of work to prepare for and hide the caches. They shouldn't be cheapened by a pretender. If you were actually there, sign the log and prove it to everyone. The cache owners have every right to delete the logs and in my opinion, they should.
