In the Utopian world I might actually agree with a third of what you said. Certain places can only survive so much pressure. Some places can survive a lot more pressure, and some are impervious to the amount of "spot burning" that goes on. But where is it safe to draw that line? Posting spot specific info online doesn't always ruin a spot or cause a thousand people to go but SOMETIMES it does. Me, I want to err on the side of caution.
Spots can & should be shared, I just feel it should be in smaller groups, between people, in a club, or something. I don't think it is wise to mark
specific stuff about locations in a historical and searchable database.
Stripermagnet, I realize that preventing detailed discussion on spots does not fit into your immediate wants but just keep in mind that it is the safe thing for the SPOT. When REPORTS and SPOTS mix, it can get ugly. Ask any of the Canal guys when their area gets juicy - and the Canal is probably the most "burned" spot in the Northeast.
