Well, since I came on so strong with my comments, I feel I owe the list and my friend, Shadowace, these comments as well:

I have never met a better group as the people I've met since I started geocaching, and regardless of the opinion differences, it's all good. I'm sure it wouldn't be the same if people didn’t feel strongly about geocaching in their own way -- even though everyone else is totally wrong! ;-) Thanks, Mel.

Hmm..

 Interesting.. Nope


 Sorry my comment was _ I stress again _ Not about to Micro or Not to Micro..

 It was about GET PERMISSION FOR THE CACHE YOU PLACE..

 Then feel free to log how you really feel on a micro or non micro cache. No more wondering if I will be arrested or just asked to get off the property when I look around a power box.

"Trust me, just because there are more micros than rural caches, doesn't mean they're more POPULAR."

It's not the number of caches that makes them popular, but the number of finds on each cache. The fact that they are found at a rate exponentially higher than other caches does indicate popularity. Or am I missing the definition of 'popular'? Back it up with numbers?  ;-)

"We're trying to encourage good micros and urban caches and discourage the placement of bad ones."

A noble cause, indeed. Can I see you're scientific study on what is good and what is bad? You are the decider? Oh, that's right, trust you.

Back to you're regularly scheduled rant…
