Its like duh how many times does someone have to start a new thread with 'I went to blah blah this weekend. Oh yea I got permission also.' Before people stop asking? Then you get hammered with are you part of a grotto? And no I am not... I wonder how many are on here that is like me and hangs out in the shadows just reading posts because they are to scared to post anything in fear of someone bashing them over little things.
Hey man, you have no responsibility to please nitpickers. Please, post your trip reports. You can choose to fight to the death over trivial issues (which can be fun for a while), to ignore the critics, to pick through the criticisms and see if you can learn from some of them, or to hide. Hiding is the worst option. I want to hear about what you're doing, and if I could I would help you with more information about caves in your area.
