Mr. Lowpointer:
And this is your concern in what way?
Were any of the TBs in question yours?
Did the owners contact you and ask you to get involved?

Mr. Lowpointer:
Perhaps there is no need for any Travel Bug Hotels, anywhere.
The owner has chosen to call it a Travel Bug Hotel, and cachers have
chosen to leave Travel Bugs in it.
Certainly made things convenient for you, didn't it?

Mr. Lowpointer:
If you don't like the cache, or the location, STAY AWAY.
Many caches in less accessible areas have come up missing, the contents
are irrelevant.
Not wanting to put a Travel Bug in does not give you the right to remove
them all.

Mr. Lowpointer:
What the hell does MaxB's find count and Travel Bug count (or how they
compare to yours) have to do with ANYTHING?
Max B seems to be interested in TRADING Travel Bugs. If he takes three,
he leaves three. Thus assuring others will at least have some Travel
Bugs available if that's what they're after.
_Now_ enough HAS been said.
