I don't think you *have to* email the person. Some people just enjoy flying under the
radar. I for example would never want people coming to my house, total strangers, and
borrowing my stuff. :-) But everyone has their own level of interest in the various aspects
of the hobby.

I personally am sick and tired of people asking me why I won't get an I-Pass to go thru the
tolls. I tell them I'd rather pay cash even if it is twice as much and takes longer, than have
someone other than me have a record of where I've been and what I've been doing! People
look at me like I have two heads.

I have less than 10 finds and so I enjoy logging in my finds. I am anal like that and I like to
look at the search and see all my little flags [on Lbna.org] or whatever. It's like checking
off a list for me. Which I enjoy. :-)

But come on, let's not make someone feel badly bc they don't enjoy an aspect of the hobby
that we personally do. I'm just saying, it takes all kinds of people to make up this world.
