I like to encourage cachers to hide decent caches and post nice logs, but
let's just try to set a good example for others to follow. If you like
someone's hide, say so, but remember that this is a sport and we shouldn't
tear people down for their attempts. If somebody goes to the trouble to hide
one, they deserve our thanks. All caches have a following, even the easy
park & grabs are fun if you are in the mood for a quick find. So if we all
try to hide caches for the fun of the sport, and encourage others to hide
their caches the same way, we'll continue to have a great time.
