That's a type of false logic known as reductio ad absurdum. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum ) On the other hand, electrocution from an electrical utility box? Yes, it happens.IowaAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811000785911559567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21184490.post-1155161020997758602006-08-09T17:03:00.000-05:002006-08-09T17:03:00.000-05:00Ah, phooey.

It took me a while to figure out that was the cache and even longer to figure out the hints at the combination lock on it, but it was a great hide. I understand the reason for the warning, but a general denial for those types of caches I think might be a little extreme. Plus, what next? Are the fake electrical cover plates with the tiny logbook attached to metal street signs going to be banned? Fake sprinklers (in case someone might drown)? <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to pick at you or anything, I just think caching should be more "Caveat Emptor" and a little less regulated.<BR/><BR/>From a legal standpoint, (I'm not a lawyer, but do work at a Law school) as groundspeak assumes more and more responsibility for controlling the way people hide and seek caches, they more likely they are to appear to a court as controlling the activity of cachers themselves. So if someone does get hurt, they might actually be more liable than if they had always stuck by the more hands-off, cachers do whatever cachers do, approach to geocaching.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934792635663166447noreply@blogger.com
