What grotto are you a member of? How many years ago did you join a grotto? How many different caves (not including "show caves") have you been to? How many different caves (not including "show caves") do you go to in an average year? How many cave locations, that the general public has little or no knowledge of, do you know the exact location of (you could have been there, learned its location from a friend, or read about its location in a guidebook)? What percentage of these caves would you feel comfortable letting a stranger who is a non-grotto member with little to no caving experience, know about? How many cave locations do you know that half of the members of your grotto do not know about? How many cave locations do you know that half of the members of your grotto do not know about? How many cave locations do you know that 10% of the members of your grotto do not know about? What percentage of cave locations that you are aware of, would you feel comfortable revealing to 90% of the members of your grotto(you get to choose which cavers constitute the 90%, if some other members already know about the location assume you would be comfortable discussing it with them)? What percentage of cave locations that you are aware of, would you feel comfortable revealing to half the members of your grotto (you get to choose which cavers constitute the half, if some other members already know about the location assume you would be comfortable discussing it with them)? What percentage of cave locations that you are aware of, would you feel comfortable revealing to 10% of the members of your grotto (you get to choose which cavers constitute the 10%, if some other members already know about the location assume you would be comfortable discussing it with them)? What percentage of cave locations that you are aware of, would you not feel comfortable revealing to any members of your grotto? Do you hold or have you previously held an official position (president, secretary, clean up coordinator, etc) in a grotto? Only answer this question if you said yes to the previous question. What percentages of applicants for membership into your grotto are denied? If there is different reason you joined a grotto, please write it here Why has no one ever “leaked” cave locations to the public, put them on a website for example? With thousands of grotto members across the nation, how has no one become disgruntled with their grotto and leaked information? Have you ever become concerned that a grotto member was discussing to much information with non-members? Did you do anything about it? Do you frequently participate in other outdoor activities? If so, what sport and why do you believe these sports are more open about there destinations? Have you even done anything that harmed a cave? Why? Have your views on keeping secrets changed as you became a more experience caver? How and why? What role do landowners play in the secrecy system? If you have any additional comments or would like to critique my questions, please do so here. |
