If 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.
