MessageHmmm... tough crowd. I didn't realize Bill and I would cause such a
ruckus. I do this for FUN (and because I'm addicted but that's a different
story), and I'm just lucky that because I'm a newbie, I'm able to play
catch-up and have a blast getting a bunch in a short period of time. In any
case, I'm not taking this whole "how many GPSr's?" thing seriously, however,
I don't mind playing devil's avocate and making a few friendly comments.
(Nothing like stirring the pot)
- Even though we (CacheLess and I) team up, I have been known to secretly
grab the cache, try to sign the log and return it before CacheLess notices.
He really hates it when I try to do that... but not that he hasn't tried the
same thing to me. With that kind of behavoir, I'm sure he's GLAD I'm not on
his team.
- CacheLess has come with me to get caches that he already has logged.
Despite begging, he refuses to tell me anything.. and even laughs at me on
occasion. With that kind of behavior, I'm glad he's not on MY team.
- So... if I knew where the Pueblo Grande Museum was, and I didn't use my
GPS to get there, then it doesn't count as a geocache find?
- I've seen users who simply use the mapquest maps to get close and find the
cache just by searching the area. Should their logs be deleted?
- What about a person who stumbles across a cache, discovering geocaching
for the first time. Does he need to buy a GPS, then return to the cache
later to be able to sign the log?
Keep in mind, I'm not being serious here. I'm just trying to say that
geocaching is supposed to be FUN, and that's all we're trying to do: HAVE
FUN!

Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] New Leader (again)
Truth be known, I did understand Regan's question, but I wanted him to ask
it straight out. To be honest, I'm quite offended by the question. Had he
bothered to become informed before raising an issue, he would have known
that a number of my caches have been done with my family. That fact is even
put forth in word and photo on my profile page. Yes, TheWebbman and I have
done a great many caches together. So to have Tres Hombres, Lazy K, and
Team C.H.U.M.P. There are also a number of caches that we both have gotten,
but at different times, as well as caches that only one of us have. I
wonder if this question has posed to those teams or any of the others that
frequently hunt together.
For the record, I wouldn't be caught away from home without my GPS 12 and
TheWebbman is quite fond of his Legend. It's amazing what a little bit of
competition will bring out in a person.

On March 17th at 11:40 a.m. RandMan responded with his interpretation of
Regan's question and thoughts:
Bill,
Didn't you read the fine print in the rules for the definition of what a
"team" is? If both you and "The Webbman" used the same GPSr to find all of
the 250+ caches that you found together, then you would be considered a
"team" and can only record your finds as a team (together). You cannot both
claim finds separately. Therefore, one of you will need to delete all of
the caches that you found together (which in turn will move everyone up a
point in the AZ stats) [:)] . [;-)]

Can you re-phrase that? Sometimes I'm comprehension challenged. (I
mean, I don't get it)

You guys at the top have got to knock off this rivalry or us
newbies will never be able to catch up. ;-) Speaking of which, be
watching for another big day from teams TheWebbman and CacheLess. Now I
hope I didn't just jinx us.
