Not sure I understand the point of "N/A"

The N/A really shines when you look for part of a series. What if you look for the first five boxes of a ten-box series. You find some of them, you don't find some of them, and some of them you don't even look for because it's getting dark and you have to turn around and go back.

So some are finds, some are attempts, and some are N/A. =)

The fact that you can leave comments and not update your find/attempt dates is mostly a bonus.

Not sure I understand the point of "N/A" as I could just email the planter.

If the planter is no longer playing, there's no point emailing them. But posting a comment helps the next finders. The tagging feature could be used on caches that you post N/A logs on.
