There aren't any hard, fast rules for how to count hitchhikers, and
people do them both ways. Use whatever you feel works. I count all
of my hitchhikers as Founds for no other reason than it's less
numbers to keep track of. *shrug* But whatever works for you, do
that.

?? about "official" count for LBNA...

At the risk of starting another heated discussion, which I do NOT wish to do, I do seriously want to know...does LBNA consider hitchhikers part of the "official" count for reaching these milestones (if it is even considered official)? My husband and I are of differing opinions on this, since I only like to count boxes that I actually went out and found deliberately under my F count, with hitchhikers considered separately...he likes to lump them together. Is it just up to the people putting themselves on the list? I read the FAQ, but I didn't think this was specifically addressed.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not engage in another icky, nasty, "well I think your opinion sucks" thread over this!!!!!!
Thank you,

That should put some names on the mailing list--
If you receive the letterbox, just pick someone from the list and
contact them to see if they want to receive it too! (And I am sure
that some of these folks have passed the 500 mark already)

Don't worry I won't argue with the forest frog family. I really like that name. We count Hitchhikers and event stamps as finds just as we would when finding a hidden box. If others disagree, thats ok but that is how I do my PFX count. It's my understanding that it was originally only PFX no E or HH. Psychomommy has all sort of counts that she does, Including lizards, and thats ok too. Thats her choice and I think we can respect that. There really isn't any set rules in this. I do understand how people would like a set of guidelines to go by but to my knowledge there are none. Well, anyway, thats what Molly and I do......Chuck and Molly
