I can't tell you how much this kills me inside.
I really hate it when people start fighting and arguing especially about me or something I have done.
This has been going on for a long time and to me it is a little like the OJ trial. I would watch that trial and one day think for sure he did it and the next day think he was being framed because of the way the authorities handled things. I only wanted to give people a kudos and a couple of days of fun with the SMR caches. Some days I wish I had not done it when I see how people go after each other on here. Brdad has valid points that I agree with. So do the rest of you. Then I read all the logs about the story's of how people met the tributees and stories about things that would happen with the tributees out on the trails and I'm glad that I did the SMR caches because I would never have known these things.
Would I have done this if I had known the outcome. I leaning to the no side only because of the turmoil it has caused. But I would really miss the stories.
My opinion is that I love the interesting places and hides. I'm not a numbers guy at all. I only did about twenty caches on my trip out to Ohio and I was out there for two weeks. I want everyone to know that I don't take any of this personally. I respect and admire Brdad and all he does. I'm also in awe of all the things that everyone else does and come up with. I don't see any of the comments as negative, but more like constructive criticism. The negative comes in when the comments start getting personnel.
Please, please please! Go out there and have fun. That's all I can hope for.
I have no enemies, but I'm intensely disliked by my friends.
