While we're complaining .. uh .. reminiscing.. *I* wish people would
write decent logs. I still try to write something even for the lamp posts
(or.. around here it seems to be the "thing" to drop a home made 33mm size
container at the base of a street sign) because a lot of those are placed by
the enthusiastic beginner and, I believe, they deserve a little something
other than a TFTC for their effort. I like getting an email from a cache
owner saying, "Thanks for a funny post" or "Glad you enjoyed your time
here". And, I like to read good logs to get a sense of what to expect,
things to look out for roads ending in impassable mud -- that kind of
thing.
