but I do feel that GAGBrelated issues have damaged UK geocaching over at GC.com greatly.

This is not the case.
Jeremy has been criticised on numerous occasions for controlling geocaching the World over.
To his credit, he has said that he would like all regions to be represented by committees/associations so that the cachers in each region control caching in their own area. This was one of the reasons the GAGB was founded.
If I might quote Jeremy for the second time
We'll try to address regional requirements, laws, regulations, etc. in the new release of the site. It may not be one of the first items to add to the site.
No damage has been done to UK caching at GC.com
By the way, in my post above where I listed some of the regional sites with their own guidelines I omitted to mention, those are the guidelines applied by approvers when approving caches in those areas. Regional guidelines are expected and accepted by GC.com. This is how the approvers help each other out when someone is on holiday etc. Many of the new cachers maybe don't realise that June and I were GC.com approvers, that is how we know all this.
Many cachers have said they want to see the UK specific guidelines listed somewhere. As I said, this is in the GC.com rewrite when it is finished.
Team Paradise seem to have a firm grasp on the logic behind all this. Thanks for putting it so eloquently.
