unable to abide by ALL the rules why should a new cacher do the same.

Ken,
Am I understanding correctly that you will be making your caches =
members only to avoid land managers and the policies they have in place?

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Cache Pirate on the loose: Here is how =
I will protect my caches
To Arizona Geocachers,
It's sad to see that there apparently is a cache pirate on the =
loose. I thought his entries were a joke, because he stated that he was =
at two caches on Saturday that I visited in the morning (neither one was =
plundered at that time), but when I checked the log for Pushing Tin near =
Sky Harbor International Airport, I read that Azcachmeister had visited =
the cache this morning and reported that it indeed had been plundered.
I am heading out to the Diamondbacks game in a short time, so on =
the way there I will stop at a cache that I visit frequently, Have Bug, =
Will Travel. I stopped there Saturday morning to get the only travel =
bug in it and I moved the travel bug to another cache in Pinal County =
later that day. Fortunately, if the pirate did clean out this cache, =
there were no travel bugs in it.
In order to protect my traditional caches, I have made them all =
Members Only. This is to protect my own caches from plundering, as it =
appears the Cache Pirate is not a Geocaching.com Premium Member. I =
recommend that all cachers make your caches Members Only (and become a =
Premium Member if you are not a member) now to protect them from =
plundering. (Virtual caches cannot be plundered, so those are open to =
all).
Since there are some new cachers who perhaps aren't sure if they =
want to pay the $30 annual fee to become a Premium Member, here is what =
I will do for you. If you want to find one of my Members Only caches, =
and you are not yet a Premium Member and have been an active geocacher =
for less than three months with fewer than 50 cache findings, then you =
could find one of my caches without becoming a Premium Member. To do =
this, send me an e-mail explaining what cache you would like to find, =
and I will respond with an e-mail listing the coordinates and a brief =
description. You could find the cache and sign the logbook in the =
cache, but you won't be able to log your finding on Geocaching.com until =
you become a Premium Member.
This is available to new geocachers only (and obviously does not =
apply to the Cache Pirate). I hope this new personal policy is =
agreeable to all, and in my opinion will encourage Geocachers to become =
Premium Members without restricting access to geocaching by newcomers.
