Sorry, I was commenting on our hypothetical geek running a geocaching site from their bedroom. They would need to streamline their admin email or outsource it.

So do I, however, the emails I get require human intervention by me, can't be handled using web forms etc, so in those circumstances, whilst filters help, they don't answer the emails. In this context anything over 200 is time consuming, even assuming one minute per email. Ok, so as the geek with t...

BTW to me a lot of email is around 200+ a day I wish I only got 200 emails a day :cry: Then again, if I only ended up with 200 emails in a day something would have been broken and I'd have to be fixing that .... :roll: That said, when you are dealing with very large amounts of email you have multip...

and mystery meat too. There is no "true" mystery meat [1] as they are images with ALT tags that meaningful, and the images are the avatars of the users. These are "off site" navigation, all of the internal navigation is via the header bar. To have "true" mystery meat [1] requires javascript rollove...

... from a fellow cache who attempted to do one of my 2/2 caches. For some reason this cacher tried to scale a 15 sheer wall of rock to get another 5meters forward to reach the cache. You know some cachers can also turn a 1/1 into an epic because they didn't really look at the map and thought "If I...

... that wouldn't have happened over usenet, it wouldn't have happened with a bunch of independent geocachers or geocaching communities, it wouldn't have happened with just a bunch of software tools like GSAK.

Geodashing is a game in which players use GPS receivers on a playing field that covers the entire planet. The waypoints, or dashpoints, to be reached are randomly selected. It would be very handy to have an international team if you were playing Gedashing , as you would have a better chance of acce...
