Wow. Somebody really has a problem with Ozguff (or takes stuff too
literally). I thought this was bizarre and had to pass it on. Here is
a log he made on "GUFF" (MO). He made a couple hundred such entries
this week.

Of course if you go to the cache page referenced above you can see he
was only venting:
One of many on a tour through the area with OzMeg and Tahu. (We signed
logs as either Team Oz or Team TOO.) We scoured the obvious hiding spot
and came up empty. Came to the conclusion that it must be missing. (Or
that I suck as a geocacher.)
I understand that it is entirely up to the cache owner's discretion to
give permission to log a missing cache. But the way I see it is that I
didn't find the cache so I didn't earn the smiley. If anyone wants to
log any of my 376 hidden caches without signing any of the logs and
without leaving the privacy of their own homes, feel free. (It sounds a
little unreasonable when taken to the extreme, doesn't it?)
[My apologies to utfans for using this cache to vent. I recommend that
everyone -- including me -- goes back to caching using their own rules
and guidelines.]
I don't think this is bitter at all and all he did was vent a litte.
So I guess the geofficier felt (out of context) this was an invitation.
Certainly seems extreme. OzGuff can do whatever he wants with the
logs. Not sure why it would be fun to log a whole bunch of caches that
you didn't find. Afterall this is a friendly game that everyone can
play however they want.
