    I mentioned something similar once before and it was resoundingly shot down.

    Wow . . . I actually helped someone . . . and me . . . with a Magellan!

    On the serious side . . . I am happy to write informative pieces (from my own unique Magellan viewpoint of course), but I need direction . . . I need to know what folks want written . . . what questions do they have.

    It seems to me that the milestone mentions have gone down over the last couple of years. It may be that a number that sounded huge in 2005 has had dozens of cachers pass it and it doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. (Although to the cacher that just achieved that goal, it may be a very big deal, or just another cool cache.)

    Sudonim is correct, and add to that, a few years ago there were only so many other cachers to keep track of. Heck, I used to read every new log for every cache in the state, and it would only take me 5 minutes most days! Now I scan through the email titles of the caches on my watch and notify lists, maybe opening one or two of them and it takes me over 15 minutes.

    And yet, it still takes me two hours to watch 60 minutes...

    Sheesh! That's because you don't have TIVO! I bet if you had one, you could watch it in an hour!

    Because it takes you two posts to get your point across? Oh wait, that's not right. You usually get your point across in the first sentence!
