[Az-Geocaching] Unarchive and adopt a cache

[AZcachemeister]

Predictable results based on the note posted on the cache page.

*You have been told who owns the juke-box, and who will decide which 
records will be played on it.*

I can't help believing that there is something more to the story, 
something you (we) apparently don't need to know. Although I have 
realized long ago that Groundspeak/geocaching.com is not a democracy 
(nor even a republic!), this 'because I'm the Mommy' attitude is highly 
unusual and reeks of 'special situation'.

Lisa/poldradog has really hit the nail on the head!
If you think it's a worthy location, hide the new cache and move on. 
Personally, if you ask previous finders of the old cache not to post 
finds, I would comply...others may not. It would probably be best to let 
it go if previous finders of the old cache (number pumping whores) post 
new finds despite your request not to (if you decide to go that way), 
because deleting all those found logs will not make you feel good (trust 
me on this).

OK, I just ran out of parentheses, so that's all I have to say (I 
think).  ;-)
