I couldn't have said it better, and as an owner of a travel bug cache, a lot
of similiar voices
have been posted there as well.
On rare occasions I have gone back to a cache specifically for a bug, but
usually I might adjust
my cache search route to do a new cache that has a bug in it. That was
the original intent of
the TB cache I placed when it was first hidden, and that primarily people
would have a chance to find a bug
that hadn't found one before. Unfortunately some cachers have visited the
cache many, many times,
and had, in my opinion, much more than their fair share.
I can speak from experience that my travel bug cache requires a lot more
maintenance because
of the tendency of a few to remove travel bugs with out exchanging, yet few
people leave TBs without
taking something in return. And if the few do this repeatedly, I sometimes
have a hard time keeping
up.

Ok, I could probably see that if the person was helping maintain the cache
it could be ok, but without naming names, I know of a couple of cachers who
do not help maintain the cache, doesn't even log on the cache page taking of
the bug (only logs to the bug page), makes no trades for the bug thus
lowering the inventory of the cache. Hense showing only an interest in
getting bugs out of the cache with not much concern for the cache or cache
owner. This is where I am having a problem seeing it as ok.
Once again just my opinion, IFISHAZ.
