Granted I am not caving any more but this overly secret concept of hiding cave
locations in the caver community has never made sense to me. I think you should
share your files. They are a part of caver history and need to become a part
of the record for future generations. Too much has already been lost due to out
dated, needless, paranoid mindsets.
Just my 2 cents,Karen Perry

Subject: Re: [Texascavers] historic posting
Many years ago I made 25 copies of a bunch of cave maps from my files and sold
them to fellow cavers for exactly my copying costs (100 pages for $5). For this
I got yelled at for years, was given an award for the worst behaving caver, and
I was accused of copyright violations. All that over a handful of cave maps
lost in old files. This censorship has helped keep new Texas cavers in the dark
about all the great caves that have been lost or forgotten in this state. It
has also been instrumental in the decision not to release my cave files (even
to the TSS), which account for over 16 file drawers of cave locations, maps,
photos and articles.
I would like to get all this stuff out for the next generation of cavers, but I
am very cautious since the dying generation of cavers responsible for this
nonsense are still (barely) around.
