If I were you I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure someone from the site will tell you if you're doing something you shouldn't! Happy Caching!! Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Not against the rules, but the folks @ geocaching.com could've helped you with that if you had emailed them. Ever type with a keyboard? Quote Link to comment
+MountainWoods Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 What happens when you forget the password on this second account? Quote Link to comment

It is very difficult to make sense out of someone's writing when the sentences are all run together. Quote Link to comment

Come on, I'm not asking for 100% perfection on anything. I'm not picking on the spelling or grammar, or the correctness of punctuation--only the total lack thereof. I'm only asking for someone who is asking for help to make it easier for those who would like to help. My only complaint is, and I'll repeat it exactly: It is very difficult to make sense out of someone's writing when the sentences are all run together. Quote Link to comment

+TriciaG Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So - is everyone going to continue squabbling about whether or not to comment on lack of punctuation, or is someone going to try to help the poster? Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 To the OP : you're fine. If you want to, re-log the find you had logged previously under your first account with your new account, and mention that in your log so that the cache owner doesn't get suspicious. Quote Link to comment
+chanceynancy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 my reply is to Nan get off your high horse as far as I am concerned all you did was discourage any newbie from asking for help Quote Link to comment
