Requesting archives

I just checked email and see that I have 11 messages for "Should be archived" notices on caches -- and they're all from the same geocacher. I know this person probably has good intentions, but it's just kind of frustrating to see one person post so many at one time. I'll look at each one, but I also like to wait a few days before taking any action to see if the cache owners take it upon themselves to reply to the request, either by archiving the cache themselves or by posting a note that they will perform maintenance.

I think it's great that Nebraska's new reviewer is chasing down inactive caches by doing pocket queries. Here in Iowa, the situation is slightly different because we have an active official geocachers organization - IGO - with an elected board of directors. They have been very good about posting SBA or "needs maintenance" notices to draw them to my attention. Once they do, I flag the email and then give it several days to give the owner a chance to respond. If he or she does not respond, I recheck all those flagged emails every few weeks, then archive the ones where there has been no corrective action.
