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... Nancy
