So let me get this straight...those of us who were not around near the
beginning
are somehow inferior at this hobby/sport/addiction/etc. compared to you old
timers?

Back in the day, numbers competition meant something because it took skill,
intelligence, and planning to get numbers. Nowadays a monkey could get 1000
finds in a day. LOL! So you numbers hounds better start finding lamer ways to
claim finds if you don’t want to be second string to monkeys! LOL!!!!!

Right on target!! I suspect the reason old-timers weren’t taken up by numbers
talk is there just weren’t that many around. Had there been, we would have to
listen to “Back in the day, we really knew how to run a power trail” instead of
listening to what we do now...
BIOYA, Jim.

[grandpa] Well, sonny, back in the good ole days, caching was much better than
it is now! You whippersnappers have ruined caching with all that darned foolish
numbers talk! Caches back then were great and people worked hard for them! Now,
you young'uns have no pride! They should ban all them newfangled caches that
aren't like what we used to have! [/grandpa]

LOL! 590 in a day? That is sooooo lame-it’s still in the it takes skill and
intelligence to find a cache mentality. I had over 1,000 finds in an hour!
500
a day, 10K finds, 20K finds, 30 K finds, 100K finds-what’s the difference
nowadays? Nowadays numbers are meaningless to judge the skill and ability of a
cacher. Back in the day when BruceS found 5K it was an accomplishment that
really took skill. Nowadays even 250K finds would pale in comparison to the
difficulty of what BruceS accomplished.
