I can't speak for other people but when I can't find a cache, I do mark it
as a can't find, but then if I go back and find it, I go back and modify the
log to a note, and post a "found" log.  Actually the only time I've used a
not when I didn't find the cache was on the "Lookout Mountain" cache.  We
didn't even make it into the area of the cache (at least half a mile away)
because of blocked roads and nightfall.  I originally put it as a not found,
but then after reading a few things on the Snaptek site, changed it to a
note.

What is the general consensus of when should a note be use in a case like
that.  I know there's a "article" on the Snaptek that addressed this but is
what is mentioned in there what most people do.  I'm not trying to be a
follow the masses person, but I do think there should be some consistency to
the whole thing.

 I know this isn't what you are refering to but I'd like to know if that's
what most other people do. (Kind of a -when in Rome- issue.)

I don't think that you're out of line on that one.  A cache should only be
logged if it's completed.  I found the first stage of  Libby's "The Great
Pumpkin" a while ago but haven't had a chance to complete it, and didn't
think it was appropriate to post or log just the first part.
