Ok, you caught me. How ironic that you post one of my
logs as proof that people do learn something at
virtuals. This cache in particular COULD support a
real cache as there are plenty of hiding spots. The
question is, SHOULD it? I think the answer is no. This
is such a small town that travelling cachers would be
stopped by the neighbors and/or police if they were
picking around the monument looking for a container.

All that aside, if virtuals had 'their own section'
like benchmarks, I don't think there would be a
problem with a virtual blocking a traditional cache.
Benchmarks can be inches away from a container without
the admins saying the 'spot' is taken. Why not do the
same with virtuals?
