Hey... I didn't mention any names!
OK, to be honest, my rationale was based on KB hides. That was before you told me you read the logs. I am still amazed by that - don't know how you have enough time. I'm sticking with my NM strategy, though. There are other prolific hiders out there.

You do bring up a good point. If I get a string of logs from one cacher,every one "TFTC" or whatever, I stop reading them after 5-6. I have missed other info at times. |

Yes, so entertaining that it's worth another summer trip up to her stomping grounds. |

Thanks, Steve, and back at ya.... especially when your phone auto corrects and the non-family-friendly version of the log gets posted.

I've had my feathers ruffled when someone marked one of my caches as needing maintenance, while logging a dnf, when the cache is sitting there exactly how I hid it.
Of course the searcher had no way to know I lived just a few blocks away and checked on the cache often. But it was a mid level difficulty, so a NM after they can't find it?
I shouldn't let it bug me, but it did. I'm over it. Really, I am! |
I've seen where after a DNF, the log states that the obvious beacon was empty so they replaced the cache, signed the log, then claim the find. In this case I think I'd take the NM instead. Not all hides are in the beacon.

I don't nearly have the number of caches KB does...but I read all my logs as well. The one's that catch me are those that change/update their log after it is posted...
.

I started to hear "rumors" about one of my caches at one of my events...course, the most recent log I had on it was a simple note about running out of time and will come back later. Well, later arrived (about a week or two after the initial note) and they changed their note to a dnf and went into great detail about how the cache was gone. Now, had they actually posted a new log, I would have made the correction right away... |

I have no problem with the needs maintenance logs and for me it's a good thing as I don't go out and check caches unless there are a number of legitimate dnfs posted or a NM log.
What frosts me is the guy who posts a needs archive log and has not even bother to look for the cache. I am finding a single individual who sifts through logs and posts NA logs even without actually verifying the cache is missing.
In my case he was wrong for 5 out of 7 the the NA logs.
I guess this falls under the "is what it is" category |
