Can we cut trespassing from that list? :) (No, seriously.) I know it's a sensible topic. In my opinion, there's no harm done from trespassing itself, if proper consideration is applied. No trespassing signs are often a legal substitute for "Enter at your own risk", when they are even put up on public land for safety reasons. Usually it's clear from the type of sign if it's meant to absolve the owner from getting sued, or whether you would really cause harm by proceeding. Legally, it's at most a misdemeanor, and may not even be that if the area is not fenced. I fully understand that people might get offended, and that it would shed bad light on geohashing if you -for example- trample their flowerbeds, but then that's when I would speak of vandalism. Strictly speaking, we wouldn't be eligible for the achievement, as we've been on former military land featuring several no trespassing signs (warning of possible dangers from ammunition parts, etc. - clearly the first kind of sign). -- Relet 22:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
