An interesting comment. I cannot disagree.
My wife and I have enjoyed geocaching for a long time now. When we
started, the top team in AZ was under 500 finds. We found some aspects of
the game to be overcompetitive, so we just don't log our finds. For us,
the fun is the search, and in the back country places the search takes us.
(We have never looked for or found an "urban" cache.) What we do is not
better or worse than the way others play the game. It is just
different. Some like the competition of being FTF on a cache. Others
like the numbers. I am reminded of golf. Some say it is a contest
against yourself. Can you play better than you have before? Not
me. I prefered to beat the guys I was playing with. For me, golf was
a very competitive game. (I seldom actually beat the guys I was playing
with, but that's another story.) Now, for those to whom the numbers are
important, having a cache deleted for no good reason is a big deal. Others
couldn't care less. Who's right? Both, because they are playing the
game for different reasons and with different goals.
If you are having fun, then the way you are playing
works for you. If you aren't, go to the movies instead. In fact, go
to the movies in Willcox, where, by coincidence, I own the
theater.
Bill in Willcox.
This is exactly why I
am semi retired. I don’t always log on the website when I find one, and my
thirst for having to search is not there. This is a game, and until people
remember that this is a GAME, people will continue to be pissed off by
others.
There are too many
other things in life to worry about whether someone deleted my log, or the cache
owner deleting a log because they felt like it.
Can’t we all just get
along and Have fun???????
