I think a lot to do with it is the age of the writer and the amount of time the
writer has. My son very seldom puts much effort into recording his logs. He
doesn't see any reason to. The faster he fills out the page the better. I
usually try to write something, but my logs are usually shorter if I'm pressed
for time when logging on the website.

Subject: [GeoStL] What Does Your Log say?
I've been reading the forums and there's been a discussion about what finders
write online.
http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=70128
There's a strong school of thought that an online entry that reads something
like this:
"TNLNSL. TFTC"
(Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the Cache)
is really geo code for
"Your cache sucks"
Is this true?
If you leave logs like this -- is that what you are really thinking?
How much time do you spend writing in the physical logbook as compared to the
cyber log?
As a placer do you get a kick out of reading logs or do you even care?
I'm just curious. I like reading interesting logs -- whether or not they
help with finding the cache. And naturally, you can imagine, that as the
log-writer on our little family team, some of "our" logs may.. digress... Do
those kind of logs "bother" you?
I swiped this post from the forums:
"I"'m surprised no one has stated the obvious. TNLNSL could be considered
what folks in the quality industry call an indicator.
-If you never see it in the logs the cache is probably stellar.
-If you see it in the logs occasionally, either those individuals either
didn't care for the cache, were tacitern9sp?), or were in a hurry.
-If most of the logs are TNLNSL it may well be a stinker.
-If [b]all[/n] the logs are TNLNSL you probably qant to put the cache on your
ignore list. "
Does this hold true in this area? I think I've seen some TNLN entries on what
others thought were good caches? Is this a "less is more" area LOL?
Just .. things to discuss...
