Agree. My containers inside the gnome are film canisters, so they'll be listed as micro.
Hmmm... not sure if I agree.
What's the purpose of listing a "size" on GCA. I assume it's to help the finder when they are searching for a cache? Am I looking for a nano the size of my fingernail, or a regular the size of a shoebox?
I really need to know what I am looking for, not how big the hollow is inside the object.
I'll be hiding three sizes of gnome next month, ranging from a true nano (he's so cute, only a few mm tall!), up to a regular-sized garden gnome with a film canister stuck up its hole. I had intended to list their size as the size of the gnome, seeing that's what people will be searching for. The film canister is simply *part* of the cache, hence not really important information for the finder.
With normal caches (non-moveable), the container size may be more critical, as people need to know whether there's sufficient room for swaps, pens, etc. However, with a moveable, swaps are rarely an issue. And seeing that you take the cache with you, even a pen in the cache isn't really that important.
I'd like to hear others' views on this?
