Reguarding The recent flare up on another site:- I feel stupid. I found this site and thought it was a perfect tie in to Geocaching so added some links to caches on certain pages. I thought that the people over there would find geocaching interesting like we all do as it involves a trip to visit an interesting place then finding hidden treasure close by, never did I imagine that this would be the response. I assume they thought geocaching would destroy some of their much loved sites but now they have read the rules I think they have calmed down slightly, maybe they could have done this before slating us. My apologies to everyone really, Firstly to anyone from the Modern Antiquarian, I have obviously misunderstood the purpose of your site, all the fancy colours kind of lead me to believe it was more of a fun than serious thing. I see this now and will not post there again. My apologies to this UK geocaching community too - I had no intention of stiring up any ill feelings and ment no harm, you are in no dowt right that I need to think sometimes and I feel really bad for it. I am in total agreement that I will not attempt to post there again and hope this will die down. I feel really stupid but you live, you learn. There was no need for anyone to get as angry as that though, just some more examples of people getting heated over easily. Threats and swearing are never called for, a simple email to myself stating the rules of their site would have sorted this in seconds flat. Why do people need to be so agressive?

I have had I think about all this and other events before hand. I have never attempted to bring this community down or go against its rules and regulations. However, It seems that I have trodden on toes afew times unintentionaly. I always have the best interests at heart, try to make caching as fun as possible and to see the light side of everything but It regualy doesn't seem to fit in around here. For these reasons I will not be using the forums any more or discuss caching anywhere else on the web. I am fed up with it back firing on me. I feel really bad about what has just happened and think this is the best cause of action. I will continue caching, just with a much lower profile. Thankyou all for being such interesting people to talk to and in certain cases such good friends. Good luck with everything you do. Dan.

He is right. I was more than a little harsh and for that I too appologise.

My first reaction was that it was another form of Letterboxing - a cummunity I loathe with a real serious conviction - a misconception that has been put right.

I still do not agree with the idea of leaving anything anywhere that isn't part of what is already there.

You can be certain that no one here will go looking for your caches, certainly not with the intention of destroying them. I think the general consensus would be that we have more interesting things to go hunting for.

Happy caching if that's what floats your bucket ... erm .. I mean boat :-)
