Well, it was a learning experience to say the least.  I called 
headquarters to see if there is any one higher on the totem and was told 
by a sweet young thing that he is the top of the heap with questions of 
this kind.  So I give up....

Than Lisa/PoledraDog wrote me a very nice letter that put a different 
perspective on the whole question.  I thank her for her clear thinking 
and logic, something that I sometimes forget and loose sight of...

So -- I applied for a new cache this morning around 10:00 A.M. and it 
was published by 3 or 3:30 P.M.  I have never seen a cache published to 
fast in my life!!  Anyway, GC12QM5 is the new All Aboard Gone with the 
ever popular Altoids tin and log sheet.

Thank you all for your comments and help.
