+Quoddy Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I absolutely agree! I usually take it as a measure of the (personal) accuracy of the cacher's logs. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 My pet peeve on event cache pages: For weeks following a big event, the page gets cluttered with logs that say "bug drop" as people log bugs that they "saw" at the event, and then need to return them to the cache page for the next person. You have to scroll WAY down before you even get to the stories about the event, which is what I was interested in reading. Y'know, you can delete those "bug drop" logs once you've entered them. The bug still stays on the page. Quote Link to comment
+robert Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Lep: True. Other option is to just let people grab it from one another rather than keep dropping it back into the event. Doesn't always work but helps with some of the clutter. Quote Link to comment

+Polgara Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm *guessing* that this may be directed at me for logging "Third Wedsnesdays" on Monday...I don't see the issue in it. Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hiya Polgara. you are not alone - This is directed to lots and lots of people who log an event cache with the date they happen to be at the computer. There are so many "sinners" that I could have posted this in the Geocaching Forum but I didn't because I don't usually attend events that far away from home so I can't get peeved by Idahoans - or whoever - who log in with the wrong date. You know I love ya anyways. Quote Link to comment

We can not buy Yuengling here and CT. And for a Pennsytucky transplant and a Joisey boy; that's a major problem. I haven't even been able to find a recipe to brew my own. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps this cacher could help you out with a recipe... Quote Link to comment

You know I love ya anyways. I'm guilty of this. There are many times I log the event (or cache) and forget to change the date. I'm not sure why its an issue though. I was there and I logged it, so who cares if I wrote December 4th instead of December 3rd? Quote Link to comment
