[Az-Geocaching] RE: Different Strokes For Different Folks

[Jeff Moriarty]

I totally agree that if the approvals are inconsistent then handle it
through the site.

You said you haven't gotten much value from the site, but you have listed at
least 30 hits on their site.  That means you are using all the work that has
gone into building the site, you are using their software, using their
internet bandwidth, using electricity on their servers, and using hard drive
space on their servers.  You are relying on their site to show you were
caches are to be found, and returning to their site to log your visit as
part of the experience.  Even Snaptek's great site relies on
Geocaching.com's data to operate.  Ask yourself this - if Geocaching.com
were to vanish then how much fun would this hobby be?   Perhaps you value
the site more than you think, and might want to consider that membership.

Jeff.
