accuracy is should be easy to find someone's stash from waypoint

Waypoints of secret stashes could be shared on the Internet, people
could
navigate to the stashes and get some stuff. The only rule would for
stashes
is: Get some Stuff, Leave some Stuff!!

I remember these times. I stopped geocaching when the caches started
showing up in Wal-Mart parking lots. The game changed from finding
interesting locations to playing hide and seek for a film canister in a
parking lot.

Maybe it is me, but I don't enjoy looking under rocks. Show me someplace
interesting.



This is the usual situation when the hobby of a few is discovered and taken
over by the crowds.
An example is usenet by itsself: commercial boxes harvesting the binary
newsgroups and downloading movies automatically, thereby directing the
attention of unwanted organizations, and destroying the entire environment,
just for the quick profit of selling those boxes. I think they existed for
not more than 6 months.
