[Az-Geocaching] one of those...

[Brian Casteel]

The digest gets convoluted anyway, so it really isn't worth using.  You also 
mention a Geocaching set of guidelines...

I do find some serious irony in your comment about having an intelligent 
conversation when you had the gall to come at us the way you did.  A case in 
point would be the last paragraph of your last post to this listserv.  Pot? 
I believe the kettle is calling, and he says you're black.  I'd post the 
paragraph in question, but in an effort to 'trim' my post, I'll refrain.

BTW, for anyone with a clue, your e-mail address calls into question some 
things....
