Hey Brian, before you roast me in a public forum, maybe ask me what is =
going on. I will tell you what really happened here, and it has very =
little to do with getting that virtual posted. The only thing I did was =
to say that I was going to list my caches elsewhere, on the advice of an =
Admin at GC.com. All of a sudden I felt like I was married to the Mob, =
they wouldn't let me just leave. "Oh my God, is he really going against =
the will of the almighty Geocaching.com?" SHAME, SHAME ON TEAM 360! I =
got called all sorts of things: irrational, childish, emotional....the =
same old cliches from the same old narrow-minded people on that board, =
the so-called "intellectuals". HA. Try to do something on your own, and =
you are branded a heretic. The way they acted against me, you would =
swear that the Spanish Inquisition had come to town just to visit ME. I =
don't want to play the numbers game against the rest of the world, so I =
wiped my cache finds in order not to be tracked. I still have a copy of =
every find in a personal book I keep. Nothing wrong with that. It's =
taken a great weight off my shoulders. For those of you who may be upset =
that I did so, I apologize for any heartache it may cause until the next =
cacher logs a find and fills the void. Oh, I may still get out there and =
cache, but only to write it in my own records, not logging it online. I =
can do that, right? Or will I get ostracized here in Arizona as well for =
doing that? If that's the case, then so be it.
