I'm not sure you have any significant detractors here. I think CMNM did not know of you, and thought HF was referring to another member here.

In any case, thanks for stopping by here!

I can think of a few other names for people like that, but they're not appropriate in a public forum.

Shouldn't the term be "soft coorder"? I know that some people write "cords" instead of "coords", but I don't think we should encourage that.


It would seem to me that I have no idea which variation might be the most correct.

Now that TWU has joined us perhaps we will attain a perspective from the east. Soooooooo, how are things " In The Buff ".

Now that I have back read the logs, dbirdman was right on. Sorry, TWU if I was offensive. I was referring to one or two members of this forum that we give a hard time to about soft-coords. They know who they are...the dear fellas. They have sent more than a few of us to the looney bin! banghead

TWU, here is a LCCF thread to bring you up to speed about this....

Sorry for the confusion! I did check back for new posts, but I did it through Google every time, and it just showed my post as the last one.

The reason I came here, is someone had the bright idea that in their find log for the cache "skurdibbles", they would mention that a couple of message board threads come up when you Google this unique, made-up word. Of course both these threads are negative regarding soft coordinates. The cache owner (who never would have done this in a million years if it wasn't for that find log) Googled skurdibbles, entered the Geocaching.com forum thread, and went bonkers.

That find log has since been edited, seeing as I went bonkers about that. I took care to never give any clues so this cache could be identified by name in the Groundspeak forums.

Now everyone is probably even more confused!!

No worries about the confusion there, TWU. Were're used to being confused. It a way of life around here....with some more than others (which includes me).
