Brian, Thanks for the links. I don't usually read the forums. Just =
don't
have the time. I was great reading through all of the posts. I had =
begun
to think I was the only one that still thought the whole pirate thing =
was a
bad idea. I also noted that I'm not alone in noting that a week after =
the
fact, it doesn't appear any of the stolen items have been replaced (in =
the
original cache or elsewhere). It seems the pirate has also not =
contacted
Jeremy and certainly hasn't posted more info here or in the forums. I =
don't
believe there really ever was a good intent. Any good humored well
intentioned soul would have come clean or corrected the situation by =
now.
=20
I would be surprised if it were TTB. They have proven they are cunning
enough to come up with a scheme like this, but I highly doubt they would =
let
it run on like this without some sort of response. Then again... ;-)

When this problem first came up, I started a thread in the gc forums to =
get
some opinions on the matter. I took a few days off, and the thread
exploded.

I'm thinking it safe to say that the concept of a cache_pirate is being =
put
to rest by Jeremy. Despite the interesting aspect of the game by trying =
to
locate him/her in the field for a prize, I don't really care for having =
the
caches plundered. Also, I'm not sure if it was just me that alerted =
Jeremy
to the situation at first, but he definitely remedied the problem =
quickly.
When I look at both profiles, and the lack of a response to Jeremy =
regarding
what is going on, I can't say that I believe the second profile. If =
this
person was going to attempt rectifying the situation, an e-mail should =
have
been fired off to Jeremy almost immediately after his e-mail was fired =
off.
=20
<conspiracy theory>On a side note (and hopefully taken with humor in =
mind),
Jeremy identified is as an Earthlink customer who was playing the role =
of
the elusive cache_pirate. The only cacher posting to this listserv from =
an
earthlink.net e-mail address is Team Tierra Buena.</conspiracy theory>
=20
Absolutely nothing connects TTB to the cache_pirate, but it's just a =
little
thing I noticed. ;p
=20
/me dons his REAL looking fake boulder to avoid the stoning...and =
perhaps to
hide a cache.
