Thanks for the feedback Skydad, but you might want to skip reading this email.

For the cachers that were interested in this topic:

I followed Rand's advice and contacted Marc with questions regarding his logs on two of our caches.
Marc responded curious to know why I requested the information.  I then explained the situation in more detail and told him about the listserv so that he could be included in the conversation.  I informed him of how I was a bit skeptical when it came to his finds as were some other cachers.

Marc has since sent me two emails describing our two caches.  The descriptions were detailed enough for me to be confident in believing that he did in fact visit the caches and chooses not to sign the logbooks.

So as for cheating, I personally do not think that this is an issue.  Not signing the logbooks will be an issue each cache owner will have to decide for themselves.  In this case I have chosen to leave the logs, but in the furture I may add in my cache descriptions that signing the logbook is required to receive credit for the cache, as I enjoy trying to maintain an accurate log.

Marc - Thank you for being helpful and understanding.
