Maintenance Performed Log

In his attempt at finding fault with employing the resources of GC.com by the players, Mr. Bell creates a straw man argument when he states:

Let’s look at the perfect scenario according to some responders:

• Finder A finds a cache. According to his GPSr, the coords were off by 20 feet. He posts his ‘found’ log with coords.
• Finder B finds the cache and posts his ‘found’ log (he makes no mention of whether the coords were good or not).
• Finder C finds the cache and now the log is full. He logs his ‘found it’ and a ‘NM’. He makes no mention of the coords.
• Owner D posts a note, ‘Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take another out tomorrow’.
• Owner D then replaces the logbook, and posts a ‘maintenance performed’ log.

I run my PQ and head out. I search, but come up empty because I don’t have Finder A’s info. All I have is a bunch of useless logs discussing a very minor problem that has already been resolved.

The perfect scenario is one that when the owner performs the maintenance visit, he verifies the coordinates of the cache and states so in the maintenance performed log.
