The digest gets convoluted anyway, so it really isn't worth using. You also mention a Geocaching set of guidelines... http://www.todayscacher.com/2005/jan/editorial.asp I do find some serious irony in your comment about having an intelligent conversation when you had the gall to come at us the way you did. A case in point would be the last paragraph of your last post to this listserv. Pot? I believe the kettle is calling, and he says you're black. I'd post the paragraph in question, but in an effort to 'trim' my post, I'll refrain. BTW, for anyone with a clue, your e-mail address calls into question some things....
