I placed a lot of caches over the past 8 years and normally all of them degenerate. The swaps just disappear over time ... except for this one: www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCJRCC It's a 50 litre box which just keeps filling. Every now and then I had to go there and take stuff out b...

No - it just means you're driving on the wrong side of the road. We are driving on the right side

I think that one thing that has come from this is just how snarky, mean and self centred the Groundspeak Lackeys have become.

To me a DNF is a flag to the CO and other cachers that I started a search (no matter how short) for the cache and it was unsucessful. If a cache get'...

The only reason bringing people to the spot is the geocache.

... and if that "Update Co-Ords" log creates an error message because the distance between old and new coords is to big, the CO should contact the local reviewer to have a look into it.
