I as a cacher who has found several of their caches
decided to offer suggestions but for some unknown reason they took it as an
attack, it is sad that they took the archive approach as they had some nice
areas to visit...
I have been trying to come up with a
reply to your original post as well, but Kelly of Team Roadrunners pretty much
said everything that I would have said.
I think they might have gotten
upset because of the somewhat elitist sound your message had. It is
frankly none of your business how they place their caches, and you have no
right to ask them to archive any of their caches. While some of their
caches might be open to some criticism, others have been enjoyable
caches. The reality of the matter is that if I don't like the way that
they hide caches, I just won't go and look for them. You said that they
would have the respect of the geocaching community if they archived their
caches. You don't speak for me, or for the geocaching community for that
matter, none of us do. CwT have my respect because they took the time to
go out and hide caches for people to find. I don't care if they are easy
urban caches, or harder rural ones, I enjoy finding both.
Far too many
people seem to want to turn themselves into Cache Police for some
reason. I can't see this as being a positive for this game.
