MessageIf I cared about the numbers I would run around getting all the 1/1
caches. Instead I spent a fantastic day on Saturday with my brother-in-law
doing the "Peak at the Orthocenter". Two hour climb up and one hour climb
down. Total of one find for the whole day, but what a find! Thats how we
personally prefer to do our caching. But I understand that other people like
other things and as long as they are not harming anyone... :)

  Well put, Bill.  The same thing happened with the SETI@home project, for
those who are familiar with that.  It was a screensaver that allowed you to
analyze a packet of data to search for extraterrestrial life.  Some users
got so immersed in the "numbers game" that they found a way to hack the
screensaver so they could "complete" more packets faster to get a higher
ranking, and defeating the purpose of the research project.

    This whole bitterness and bickering over whether these two teams are
actually two different teams or just a single team pretending to be two is
the perfect illustration of why we love the geocaching hunt but don't log
caches.  The whole numbers game has the potential to bring out the worst in
people.
