	Heck... that's nothing. 
	 
	There's a guy out there I've seen that shatters all concepts of
caching morality.
	 
	One must ask... What would you do?
	 
	1)  A guy.... drops off a container with his signature in it when he
couldn't find the original container.
	 
	2)  A guy ... claims a find when the container is known to be gone.
	 
	3)  A guy...  finds a cache.  The container is changed by the owner
slightly because the original container was muggled. The guy goes back out
and claims the find again, even though the new container is in exactly the
same place.
	 
	4)  A guy... travels out of town and finds a cache that is known to
be gone, but since the cache owner has long since abandoned Geocaching.com
and that cache, the guy feels safe in logging a find, knowing that no one
will call him on it.
	 
	5)  A guy... finds a cache by himself --- or alternately, his
caching partner finds it without him.  In both cases, the find is claimed by
both parties.
	 
	6  A guy... claims a find, when the container is gone --- but he
reached the spot that the GPSr said, so he felt like claiming a find.
	 
	7) guy... demands help on a puzzle he can't figure out since he's
coming to the area, and it's not worth his time to try to solve it.  This
guy gets indignant when he's told that it's a puzzle, and not a traditional.
	 
	What would you think of this guy? 
	 
	Everyone plays the recreation/activity/sport/hobby the same way...
according to their own morals.
	 
	Of course... your mileage may vary.
