The problem is one of communication. There are good
land managers and there are bad ones. The good ones
will find out if permission has been given for a cache
and if so, they will leave the cache alone. A bad land
manager is one who will check the web site, see a
cache on "his land" and pull it, even though
permission was given by another steward.

I think we agree that a cache should not be converted
to MO simply to stop someone from removing it if it
shouldn't be there in the first place.  Hiding though
is a good way to avoid the "act first, think later"
breed.
