The same mentality applies to logging DNF caches as to cheating at
solitaire. Who does it really hurt but the person doing it? Geocaching
is a competition with yourself. Cheating is cheating. If you can live
with yourself then that is your problem.
I currently have only 39 finds but each one is legitimate. I can look
at the number and know each cache was actually found. I can live with that.
