Well after seeing that Susan was up there and seen the cachers name on logs I
feel much better thinking it was probably a cut and paste error... Thank You
Susan for stating they were up there and you seen there name. With that I will
be one of the individuals to say sorry for jumping to conclusions. Glad to
have been proven wrong here.

I would hope Mr. President would have asked him privately before
bringing it up on this list to make sure there was not a reasonable
explanation.

I have to agree with Susan a bit here and play devil’s advocate.
This is an individual sport and if someone does claim to find a
cache, or several caches and are not really doing so the only person who it
really hurts is that person himself. If a runner claims to have
made a 10 mile run today someplace and they really sat in their house all day –
who does it hurt? If a person claims that they found an old jar of
100 quarters while metal detecting – who does it hurt?
How many people check their caches log sheets to find out if
someone actually signed the log or not? I wouldn’t be surprised
that we have people logging some caches when they didn’t actually find (whether
a DNF, abandon search, or didn’t even go to the caches. I know some
people don’t figure out puzzle caches or find the final on multis without going
to all of the waypoints – is this any worse?
I understand this person was in the area over the weekend and in
that area the claim of 100 or so caches is not outside the norm. I have
to admit his logging is questionable due to repeated notes about not having a
method to log. But has anyone thought of asking them if maybe they messed
up their cut N paste logs? It’s not like these particular caches didn’t
have several “Group” logs and people standing in lines to sign and so forth.

All right now, I admit I have only read the original post
and a couple of the replies. BUT...I was at Mark Twain Lake this weekend.
I SAW his name on logs in several of the caches we found
while we were up there. I remember thinking, oh look, so-and-so was here
yesterday. Now I admit, I don't quite understand the whole forgotten pen
thing-maybe it was just a cut and paste log and he couldn't remember which ones
he did sign.
Anyway, perhaps we shouldn't be too hasty in drawing
conclusions. :-) And perhaps an apology is in order?

Is there a question here? 140 caches and not one pen
or pencil anywhere... Makes me wonder how many other caches have been claimed
by this couch cacher that they have never seen. Truly the only person this
individual is hurting is them self. And now we all know that is person
can not be trusted, how sad is that.

It has come to my attention that a local cacher, a member
of SLAGA, a friend to us all, and a member of this list, has logged over 140
finds in the past few days of all of the MOGA caches at Mark Twain
Lake. On all 140 caches, he said he didn't have a pen so he couldn't
sign the log book. Moga puts pencils in all of the caches. An
easy remedy to this situation is for the cacher, himself, to delete all of
the bogus finds. I have encouraged the MOGA staff NOT to delete
them. Everyone plays this game his own way, be it ethical or not.
My question to the group is, since MOGA'11 has a pirate theme, if he doesn't
delete the logs and shows up at MOGA'11, SHOULD WE MAKE HIM WALK THE PLANK?
