[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I watch the Cape Cod threads carefully and participate, giving what I considered to be knowledgeable advice. I'm always stunned when you delete information that's important for tourists to know, because you make a judgment about an area you now say you've never been. Your site, your rules, I get it, but I wonder what the point is.[/quote]

I don't know if you folks bother to read earlier posts in this thread, but I thought I explained it very clearly. While some posters may authentically be interested in sharks, there is one poster who believes any post about Cape Cod is part of an organized campaign to harass her. There are other posters who attempt to antagonize her for entertainment. They have even given her a nickname. So, a lot of those posts get removed.

As I understand from the poster above, if you go to a beach in Cape Cod, there will likely be wall-to-wall shark warnings with helicopters flying above and special apps to provide information about sharks sightings. Given those circumstances, anyone who needs to rely on DCUM to learn about sharks will probably be eaten regardless. In the meantime, nobody can be bothered to offer advice about where to get a cup of coffee. The only information anyone will provide about Cape Cod is about sharks. It's a very strange situation.

Would you like me to post photos of the signs? I can do that for you. If you do visit and you go to the Beachcomber in Wellfleet, there is one sign there. You see them on the ocean side, not so much the bay side.

The coffee thing was pretty hilarious. Up and down 6A and 28 (which run the length of the Cape on each side) as well as 134, a cross road mid-Cape, there are plenty of bakeries, coffee spots, little grocery stores, large grocery stores with Starbucks inside etc.  And there are DD’s EVERYWHERE. Unless this individual just wants to walk out their door and fall into a coffee place, they are clearly not even looking for one. I can leave my house in a very residential beach area, and walk 1/2 mile to not only a coffee place, but also a bakery, a little grocery store, a specialized donut store, etc. People can’t expect to go on vacation and not do a simple online search of their area. And there are little detailed maps and brochures EVERYWHERE for tourists.
