Apryl, please dont let his controlling behavior influence how you play the game.

Being on the receiving end of one of those e-mails (not HL but someone else) it does not make you feel like you're participating in a game. Which is exactly what I consider Geocaching (not intended to start a new debate simply put my opinion). It feels like you've done something wrong and they're personally attacking you.

Bottomline I was not impressed by their message and will not be picking up TB's in the future unless I'm doing a muliticache event and can get rid of (spoken lovingly) said TB at the next stop. Otherwise I'm out of the TB game due to 1 person being rude again in my opinion.

Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking
 
Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
  On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"

 

Rudyard Kipling ,   The Explorer  1898
