Glenn,
I fully agree with what you said, but again, what do those topics I listed
(found after a very short search in the archives...doubtless there's a lot more
there) have to do with caching?

Basically because when someone signs onto a geocaching list there is a
reasonable expectation that there will be some geocaching material on
the geocaching list. There is a set of guidelines sent to everyone
when they sign up. The community expects that most folks will follow
most of the guidelines.
If you want a no holds barred, discuss anything list with local like
minded people that know what they are getting in for, I have some
spare unconfigured lists. go here and sign up.

I think right now there is a discussion of . . well, to mention that
here would not be prudent at this junctuure. SO, go to this junk list
and talk smack all day long.
The last man standing wins.
