Its' really hard for me to trade my geocoins through email... I still have to use the post office if I want more than just an image of the coin to make the trade fair.<br><br>---jake<br><br>I do use email to arrange the trades, when there's not event cache around.

I was speaking from a general perspective, not only related to geocaching. For exaple, I still prefer to use "outdated" modes like sending out hand-written thank you notes and greeting cards via (*GASP*) the Post Office.... but have had no complaints.
<br>Obviously, virtually NOTHING about geocaching would work post-EMP.<br>I guess my point was.....technology is mostly a fine thing, but don't lose your ability to function without it. Paper map and compass, for example.
