As stated in my first message, I wasn't trying to knock anyone. I was simply
making a general
statement. I'm sure Glenn (or most of the approvers) would not intentionally
use the inside
info to their benefit. However, there are a lot of dishonest people out there
who would &
probably do. That is why I said that approvers shouldn't hunt local caches.
What I should've
said was: out of fairness they should avoid those caches where they've been
given additional
"helpful" information that the general caching community would not have access
to.
Glenn, I apologize if I came off like I was accusing you of something!
