Chris, sorry you feel this way.. There is a professional way to handle
things and I think that RGS is doing that. You can't expect to just waltz
in here and have everyone send you all their cache information. There has
been a lot of work put into this and I think it is best left in the hands
of those who have met with and worked with St. Louis County Parks.
Everyone must obtain permission but sometimes we take it for granted that
if someone else has placed a cache there, then its OK for me to do it.
Rich has done nothing but given all his time to our hobby so that benefit.
The relations he and others have built with various authorities has been
phenomenal.
Its a shame that you feel this way. Don't make a rash decision. If you
feel like you want to participate why not ask instead of telling everyone
to send you there information. There was nothing personal in any of the
replies. You need to grow up a little and realize that you are not dealing
with a clubhouse bunch. We are professionals who work in all walks of
life. We have families and give time and effort to the promotion of this
hobby/sport. No one makes money. Several donate hours of time helping
newbies with the basics, maintaining a website, putting in hours of
planning and teaching. The list goes on and on..
Offended or not you need to realize that there is a right way to approach
situations and a wrong way.
If you still want to leave SLAGA then thats fine. I can tell you that you
won't find a better group of people anywhere. When you start working in
the real world you will understand what it takes to balance a job, hobby
and your family all at the same time.
I think you owe Rich an apology.

Ok, I'm sick and very tired of being told of what to do here. I'm leaving
SLAGA. I'm just trying to avoid any misconceptions (with terrorist threats
and bomb threats) Rich is going to try and make money off something that
is publicly available. I think this is wrong...plus as an added bonus, I'd
distribute the Annual St. Louis Geocaching Publication free of charge.
You've lost a member plus his prospective funding for SLAGA. And for an
organization that's public, you're sure selective.
