Brian says that
more people have been visiting the azgeocaching web site and list server as a
result of this most recent article than as a result of the more favorable
stories we've had in the past. It shows, I guess, that there is no such thing as
bad publicity.
I'd like to extend
my welcome to all the Neocachers, as well as those who have been around awhile
but are new to the list. A special welcome to Joe of Team Blunder. Judi and I
had the pleasure of meeting him and his sons at a cache a while
back.
One more thing for
those just getting in to this: Next time you're on the geocaching.com web site,
click on the button on the left that says, "Discuss Geocaching" and head for the
forum labeled "Getting Started". You can search there for all the stuff you're
reluctant to ask about, and if you can't find the answer you're looking for,
feel free to post your question there. That's why it exists. Check out the other
forums while you're in the neighborhood, too.
I once referred to
this list as an "electronic treehouse", and sometimes we play here as though
that's exactly what it is. But treehouses often have "Keep Out" signs on them,
and we don't do that here. In that sense, it's more like a radio
station: you never know who's listening. You may be certain, though, that
there are more people here than you know about. Try to remember that every time
you're about to hit the "send" button.
Lastly, to Larry,
Connie, and your family, whether you see this or not, all our thoughts and
prayers and wishes are with and for you all.
