A charter membership is NOT the only way to support geocaching.com. Any and all geocaching related items (TB tags, shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc...) all help to support the site and the sport. Taking the stand of making your caches members only is a bit on the extreme end of being elitist.

I couldn't agree with Regan more that caches already in existence should remain as public caches, while new caches go members only. That is perfectly within your right, and I support that. But changing the rules in the middle of the game because the majority rationale differs from your own is something I don't agree with.
