Just remember that sharing the results of a Pocket Query
with anyone (premium member or not) is a violation of the
GroundSpeak 'Terms of Use' that we all agreed to when
joining Geocaching.com. I'm not the GC police but this
needs to be at least mentioned here. I can't say that I
haven't done it myself but this discussion needs to stay in
the 'theoritical'.

It's not just the destination, but also the path you take
and the friends you make along the way.
