How was that a personal attack? I stated things as I saw them. I compare it to people who don't vote, but are the first ones to stand up and protest who was elected or what ballot issues passed that they disagreed with. You've left the traditional geocaching sport and modified your participation to suit your desires/needs/interests. If you recall, I did voice a difference of opinion with Highpointer not too long ago. Not everyone is going to live in total harmony with one another, especially with hot-button topics like virtuals are to Geocaching, so you weren't singled out. I just happen to disagree with more of what you said and chose to expand my response to include not only the fact, but how I disagreed with it.
Now I know you don't log your finds online. You still go out and cache, which is cool. You have a personal logbook that you now track your finds in, which is cool. There are other cachers who choose to do this, which is fine. However you choose to play is your prerogative. I just don't understand why you're still so up in arms over this whole virtual thing when you've adapted to your own version of geocaching.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Come on now.
For someone who doesn't care about having their own caches anymore, I don't understand why you are complaining. Were you going to make a grand re-re-entrance into Geocaching as an active participant by logging finds online?
Why don't you save the drama? I am left wondering what is is that I did to you to make you so angry. Where is this personal attack coming from? By the way, I am not complaining, Brian. I can post an opinion, can't I? What, I can't state an opinion anymore without someone (you) jumping on me and saying I am complaining? Quit trying to make something out of nothing. This is an open forum and I will state what I want. I can do that without personally attacking you, too. I didn't see you jumping on Highpointer (Ken) for his similar views. What caused you to single out me? Leave the personal attacks out of it. And for your information, I don't log my finds online. I will play the game MY way, not yours. Got it? If you want to continue this on a one-on-one basis, just email me team360wwg@yahoo.com, and I will be more than happy to clear things up for you. This is not the place for attacks. Let's discuss the issues w ithout discussing the cachers, okay?
I understand why they are limiting the approvals of virtual caches. It's so every roadside sign/'landmark'/object doesn't turn into a virtual.
But having a cache every .1 miles is okay, right? Again, I said that the Virtual should have some MERIT to it.
As I recall, those in the forums also believed that a micro would be better-suited for one sign in particular that looks strikingly similar to the shape of the State of Nevada.
Again, this is no longer about just that particular micro. Get past it, I did, and it's a dead issue.
GC.com is making attempts at returning to their roots, which are PHYSICAL caches with PAPER logs to sign.
So no more "We strongly encourage variations on the game" thinking from GC.com? It would appear that GC.com is saying one thing, and doing another.
