Your fear presupposes that environmentalists and geocachers are two different groups of people. In general, that's not true. Remember "Cache in, trash out"? If you pit geocaching against environmentalism, you've put yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage.
Second, if the growing number of geocaches ever becomes something that anyone should feel defensive about, the blame won't lie with Ed's great maps. He's not placing the caches and he's not soliciting information about caches others are placing. He's simply providing a graphical way of viewing data that is already freely accessible to everyone. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
