There is a reason why they call these things "News Groups" and I am sure it wasn't completely to sit around talking about how the rerun of the "simpsons" turned out. The people that don't want to hear opinions and thoughts of others that could be important to the sport of Geocaching could be the ones that get burned in the ned for that reason alone. I find that people just want to have fun and not worry about problems that face the things we do. I don't think turning your back on such things is the right stance. You don't have to believe or agree with my opinions but at least listen to them and then voice your own. > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com
