I don't know if there is a good answer for that.  I guess it would have to 
be case to case.  Let's assume that one of my caches was plundered in late 
Jan.  I would not have been able to taken care of it until late Feb. since 
I was on an unexpected trip to North Idaho for a family crisis.  Not only 
was I 1500 miles from my cache, but I had terrible internet connectivity 
while there, and could hardly check on my e-mail.

Obviously I would want to fix my cache when I arrived back in Tucson, but 1 
week would hardly be enough time.  On this particular trip, I could have 
easily been stuck in Idaho for 6 or 8 weeks instead of the 3.5 I was there.

I just don't know if there is a good answer to this question.  Personally, 
I don't think that a cache should be allowed to be archived just by a 
cacher making a comment to an admin.
