  Subject: [GeoStL] What Does Your Log say?


  I've been reading the forums and there's been a discussion about what finders 
write online.

  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...
