Yet it is OK to hand a bus full of people a spreasheet of puzzle coordinates? Yes, I am making an assumption here, having not gone on a tour, but it is a reasonable assumption based on reading many logs, talking to people, and seeing the posted details for tours. Maybe I am wrong and everyone on that bus will come with some good-faith effort at solving the puzzles.
Who is handing out the spreadsheets? I did not get one!
Yes, you are making an assumption. Perhaps you should come down off that high chair, and come on a Tour, just once. Be surprised what goes on…..
(Actually, we spend a lot of time discussing how to write our ‘Found it” logs. And where to have lunch! 😆 😯 8) 🙄 )
Congratulations.
Name a center spot Cache, around which you are thinking you will be caching.

Perhaps Johnny, if you and your TC’s had a ratio in little more in favor of placed caches to found caches, you wouldn’t consider short-cutting solves as you would more fully appreciate and value of what goes into crafting unique puzzles. After all with a group placed to found ratio of… well, here are your numbers:
Total combined finds for 3Hawks (4749), Uncle_Fun (6632), Bushwhacking Queen (11371), JC and the CC’s (3962), Lost Boyscout (2957) = 29,671
Total active placed caches by 3Hawks (3), Uncle_Fun (33), Bushwhacking Queen (6), JC and the CC’s (0), Lost Boyscout (3) = 45, and of all those only 1 puzzle cache amongst you.
That’s 45 active caches to 29,671 finds. I’d argue that your collective perspective is a little skewed in the opposite direction. Perhaps if we both tracked a little closer to center I wouldn’t have to get so defensive about copy/paste group logging and tour finders might discover that adding a line like “sorry we didn’t solve this one but we know how it is solved and it’s a neat puzzle” would go a long way in keeping puzzles owners and bone fide finders from feeling slighted.
Now are we done?
No, I do not think this will ever be done.
I have 8500 finds, 400 hidden. And I am an associate of Johnny and his TC. I can guess where I fit in.
So, what the point? One that makes sense?
There are a couple of adages that come to mind, and one that concerns a horse. No, not beating the dead horse!
You can lead a horse to water, butt you can not make him drink.
So, you can make your point here, but do not expect anyone to change his or her mind to agree with you.

Music driving you crazy? Can’t count.
I had submitted this as a challenge cache, but there were problems …….
Well said …….

Personally, I LOVE cemetery caches. As an amateur genealogist and history buff, I started wandering around cemeteries long before I started caching. Through my travels I’ve visited Jim Morrison, Michelangelo, Ben Franklin, Custer, Lindbergh, Elvis (although he’s still alive), about 3/4ths of the US Presidents, and hundreds of other interesting people. When I’m at a gravesite it makes me stop and reflect about life and death and appreciate history and what people had to go through. I also consider many headstones to be works of art, as weird as that may sound, and it’s amazing how much work was put into some of the earlier stones that far surpass the laser-etched stones of today. If there were no caches in cemeteries, I would still continue to visit them. Check out findagrave.com to see who’s near you…
Wow. Jim Morrison. Cool.
Pere Lachaise, in Paris, is probably the one cemetery the caretakers would prefer not to have …. fans visiting. Morrison’s grave is a hangout.

That just means the CO has an attitude. Does not make it good or bad.
I saw that pipe monument, and was tempted to post another 900 cache.
