Hello Heather,
I am one of the guilty ones who evidently didn't understand your wishes. I visited the cache on Nov 29th at 7:10, on a dark, cloudy, rainy morning. Considering that this is a microcache in a high traffic area, the chances of getting cachers to sit down and take the time to read instructions are pretty slim. I know I didn't read any instructions at the cache site. I probably had a hard enough time in the dark just signing the log sheet. Unless your instructions were written in large, bold letters (without my reading glasses and strong light) I wouldn't have been able to make out the print. I notice that nowhere in the online instructions does it state your wishes. All it says is: "When logging your find online, please include the requested information from the log sheet." You also said: "This is an urban microcache in a high traffic area for the express purpose of making movie recommendations as well as getting them." (Again, no details as to your wishes.) My interpretation of what I understood at the time was that you wanted us to make movie recommendations and post them online - and then read everyone else's if we wish. I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. As I stated earlier, I believe the biggest problem is that you have a microcache in a high traffic area, and most cachers can't (or won't) take the time to sit and read instructions. It would help if you posted your detailed instructions online.
Happy caching,
Rand Hardin (RandMan)

Hi Folks,
I could use some help regarding my Blockbuster cache. It seems that I haven't written the description very clearly and people are misunderstanding the intent of the themed cache. Whoever has the time, would you review my description and see if it's clear? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=37454
I'm finding lately that cachers are leaving their recommendations on the log sheet AND posting that same recommendation on the cache page, INSTEAD of posting the previous recommendation that was left for them to discover and report back on the cache page. Any ideas on how I can facilitate and promote the original intent of this themed cache?
Sincerely,
Heather (aka Darsantre in her log sigs)

I am NOT addicted to geocaching. I can
stop at any time. Geocaching is not a
way of life for me. I don’t need to
geocache every day. I can drive past a
known geocache location without
stopping to search for it. I am NOT
addicted to geocaching. Really.
