I think they might have gotten upset because of the somewhat elitist =
sound your message had. It is frankly none of your business how they =
place their caches, and you have no right to ask them to archive any of =
their caches. While some of their caches might be open to some =
criticism, others have been enjoyable caches. The reality of the matter =
is that if I don't like the way that they hide caches, I just won't go =
and look for them. You said that they would have the respect of the =
geocaching community if they archived their caches. You don't speak for =
me, or for the geocaching community for that matter, none of us do. CwT =
have my respect because they took the time to go out and hide caches for =
people to find. I don't care if they are easy urban caches, or harder =
rural ones, I enjoy finding both.
Far too many people seem to want to turn themselves into Cache Police =
for some reason. I can't see this as being a positive for this game.
