I in no way implied archive them all just those that have no reason for being there other than being there... and as they refer to this game... you place a cache it needs to be found...

I as a cacher who has found several of their caches decided to offer suggestions but for some unknown reason they took it as an attack, it is sad that they took the archive approach as they had some nice areas to visit...
I have been trying to come up with a reply to your original post as well, but Kelly of Team Roadrunners pretty much said everything that I would have said.
I think they might have gotten upset because of the somewhat elitist sound your message had. It is frankly none of your business how they place their caches, and you have no right to ask them to archive any of their caches. While some of their caches might be open to some criticism, others have been enjoyable caches. The reality of the matter is that if I don't like the way that they hide caches, I just won't go and look for them. You said that they would have the respect of the geocaching community if they archived their caches. You don't speak for me, or for the geocaching community for that matter, none of us do. CwT have my respect because they took the time to go out and hide caches for people to find. I don't care if they are easy urban caches, or harder rural ones, I enjoy finding both.
Far too many people seem to want to turn themselves into Cache Police for some reason. I can't see this as being a positive for this game.
