Counting Virtuals

From: Autumn (Autumn@shadowslight.com) | Date: 2003-09-02 06:06:55 UTC
I know there are "no rules" but I'm curious as to what the group's
thoughts are with regard to counting virtual/online boxes. For me, I
count them seperately (I do not add them to my F count at all). If I
ever create a virtual box (which is unlikely) - I would probably not
count that as a plant.

However, I've seen folks include them in both found and planted
counts. Now I'm curious as to how many of you do that?

I count virtuals seperate from regular letterboxes. If I were to
create a virtual, I would figure out a way to count that seperate
too. Maybe a "CV" count?

Just my opinion,

I don't count virtual plants or finds, since I don't really consider
them to be true letterboxes, rather just online diversions in the
spirit of treasure-hunting.

I count my virtuals separately as you can see by the FPX signature.
