The whole point of geocaching is to be an activity that is carried out using a GPS to find a location. Once you get there it does not matter if it is a virtual or not, but to just sit in the comfort of you own home and never use a GPS, well that's just plain wrong. It's like being a Train Spotter but never going to the railway station; choosing to collect numbers off of the internet instead, or calling yourself an athlete just because you watch the Olympics on TV. If people want to use the website that way then that's their business, just don't insult the rest of us by calling themselves geocachers.

If not, it couldn't have bothered you <i>that much</i>. ;) I'm all for the continuance of Virtual Caches so long as you have to be there, somewhere, physically.
