Yes, I agree...however sometimes by telling everyone and their grandmother 
about this, you could cause more problems than necessary. One merely has to 
skim the GC.com website to read of accounts of people dutifully doing just what 
you say and having outrageous stipulations given to them by those in government 
not attuned to our little underground hobby. Such stipulations I have seen have 
included having caches only available for one day and the cache owner required 
to have a $1 million accident policy in place. Stupidity.
Or, one could simply just let sleeping dogs lie and have a good time. Sure, 
occurrences like the one linked yet again by Glenn happen but they are few and 
far between. I'll take those infrequent occurrences over the headache of 
dealing with the morons in government any day. Frisbee rule, FTW.

Rich,

I think you've made our point right here.  Around here, we are really
good about contacting who we need to contact to place a cache.
Sometimes this is mandatory, but others are a simple notification
(i.e. County Parks).

It will happen here eventually, but not nearly as often as other places.

Andrew
