Y'know, I was waiting for the sales pitch of Members Only caches/Premium =
Memberships after this came out.  I'm surprised it took this long.

I'll give my canned respone, then provide a little insight on the land =
manager aspect vs. Premium Membership.

An annual membership is not the only way to support geocaching.com.  =
Purchasing merchandise through the site also goes to support the sport.  =
[/soapbox]

Now, from what I understand, site stewards/land managers are able to =
obtain a premium membership FREE of charge from geocaching.com.  What =
good will it do to convert caches to Members Only when the =
powers-that-be are still able to view all the necessary information to =
visit/remove these caches?
