Thank you, GMO, for reminding us of grace.
Very well said, GMO. I will take your words to heart.

You wouldn’t believe the things you can learn when you’re trying to find out “Where’s Dave?” and “Where’s Dave now?”
I just figured out where Dave was then AND now. Of course I can’t find Dave yet, but I know where he was. Does this sound confusing or what?
your welcome 😉
Dave who?

I do also, except you are standing on the other side of the fence from me.
But, fences do make good neighbors, right?
What’s the wording for that Serenity prayer ….
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.I know I can not change cachers, their habits or beliefs, and so I really do not … what word should I use? Care? I consider myself a Stoic.
I’m thinking it’s gotta be in the water, or air or ya all take the same pill or something or you just come by it naturally.
It all comes down to a freaking stupid game. Take all that negative energy and make it useful. Go visit an old folks home,(no not Marc’s) or you local humane society and take a dog for a walk or something constructive then bickering here it ain’t going to get ya nowhere but more entrenched against each other.

Probably the air … the smell from Thilmany, over in Kaukauna. 8)

Well, that’s the crux of the situation isn’t it, trying to fathom whether the 2nd or 3rd line of the verse applies… and when.
It’s just the time of year, in part, which pushes these heated threads beyond civil discourse. Seems like topics and responses always get a little wild in late winter as we are all anxiously watching the snow melt.
For my part, I too have suffered from a little foot-in-mouth, but am on the mend. Whatever the offenses hurled from this glass house, just know that my goal is not to make the sport less enjoyable for anyone. I want cachers to get something lasting out of hunting s|s puzzles and simply feel that that “something” is mostly missed when you don’t make at least a partial effort to solve them. Perhaps some of you see it as a bone-headed, lop-sided view of geocaching from a bone-headed lop-sided cacher (just look at my numbers), but at least I have the courage and conviction to admit it and defend my viewpoint, recognizing the inherent values of puzzles themselves and doing my best to espouse them here.
What I will not do is try to convince anyone that they should simply ignore CO wishes and just log those pesky puzzle to get them off your radar because nobody cares and it is just a game. That’s akin to saying “cheat at any card game or pool or darts or scrabble or whatever, because it’s just a game”.
Would you teach your children that?

You are mixing apples and oranges, in my opinion. The ‘games’ you mention do have rules.
But there still are no established rules for finding puzzle caches.

So my virtual armchair logging drive-by bus tour of all your caches is good to go? After all, I’m just going to log them under one of my own caches. No rules against that right?
