[Az-Geocaching] Why I became a Premium Member

[Steven Stringham]

ACM, I do believe I was reacting to AZPaul's reaction to Finley's post, 
not to Regan's post. Fish may not have said it, but Finley did.

"I think many urban park/parking lot/electrical boxes/sprinkler head 
cachers use the excuse that these caches are hidden for those who just 
can't do the hiking or off-road caches due to physical limitations, 
wrong vehicle, or time constraints. That's baloney. I feel empathy for 
those who really are handicapped, but that group of cachers is a very 
small minority of the total caching crowd. "
