Quick Easy Find

Every time that you log a find in geocaching on the website you have to talk about the experience.  Over time many of the phrases have been condensed into short abbreviation. Abbreviations like
FTF - First Time Find
TNLN- Took Nothing Left Nothing
TFTC - Thanks for the Cache
and for today's cache QEF or Quick Easy Find at an LPC or Lamp Post Cache.
This one was back in the locations of the infamous hider SailerCodger. I met him at the Citrus Heights event, we shared a table, he shared some knowledge, and I listened. He has been caching since 2003, is nearing his 7000th find. He believes that in every hide you should use the largest container possible for the hiding space.
This was a small space so a small container. He also explained to me that he doesn't appreciate the abbreviations, and wishes more people would take the time to write.  Two days before I met him, I had posted a TFTC on one of his hides. He also told me he hated micros and new geocachers hiding caches. I later told him I had hid two micros, he told me to make sure the hides matter.  I left a detailed message online with my web post but I ended it with TFTH.  I do appreciate the opportunity to find geocaches, so thanks for the hunt seemed appropriate.
