Tammy makes an excellent point here. Many boxers don't log their finds on AQ, or are even members of the National or regional talk lists. I see so many stamps...
To clarify, I'm not necessarily encouraging this, but think it's a better alternative to a bad boxer list. And, if you use AQ clues, how hard is it to log...
For me, it sort of depends on the box placer. When I first started finding boxes, I *always* contacted the placer afterwards to let them know I'd enjoyed...
For me, any amount of time spent "logging finds" online is too much time. ... other hand, if placers want to use that type of method for selectivity, that's...
... Some people, when looking for clues use the evidence that the box is still active. If you are searching for a box, and no one has logged it for a year,...
There are those of us who don't care to keep a public record of our finds. I've always thought keeping track of my finds was for me alone. I don't care to...
If I get notification that someone has found one of my boxes, and they don't log it - happens sometimes - I can, and usually do, go in and mark it 'OK' as of...
Of course, if you have a series it's a little easier to figure out the last visitor - just check the rest of the series (which you'll want to do anyway,...
I apologize if it came off as "hurtful" - not at all my intention. I have been known to be impractical...just seems like if I know of some boxer who is...
Well, I'm glad it's only "almost" as bad as the notorious Blue Diamond! Also - this is the 4th box gone missing of 8. In one month. I vented. Then (since I'm...
1. I would say in that case that the placer should just put a note at the top of the clues and keep it updated as to when the box was last found. That's IF...
... But - how do you get clues for the super-secret 100-F-Count-only boxes? ;-) "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I...
Do you know anyone who might possibly know that particular boxer so that you could either communicate with them directly or have the boxer who knows them ...

It takes you longer to write back to them telling them you are not going to log in your find than it would to actually log in your find. And as a placer, I...
I did that once, took a big tumble on a slippery rock and scrapped up my leg, still have the mark months later. But fortunately for me I wasn't carrying a...
Ok, I just went and "caught up" my finds on AQ. Turns out one of the boxes I logged my finds for, hadn't had any logged finds since 2003!! Hope that didn't...
I have a Garmin GPS for my car (and LOVE it!!). I've been amazed at some of the details of roads that it has (including some TINY dirt roads up in the ...
$400 a year for a flippin' library card? That's insane! I've gotten library cards for all the different library networks in the metro Atlanta area, including a...
Just a follow-up to yesterday's "bad boxer" note. I really do appreciate the feedback, and will not start up a file on the egroup for suspect letterboxers. ...
I respond back to a placer as a courtesy. I could say, I guess, that if they didn't waste my time by emailing to request it that I wouldn't have to waste my...
