Thinking out the box

From: (boxdn@yahoo.com) | Date: 2001-02-09 00:11:07 UTC
Sorry for the pun but I thought of something while reading everyones
ideas. I think it is as simple as making a cuttable patch with the
numbers one thru zero and a letter (p,f,x) example:

1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
4 5 6 4 5 6 4 5 6
7 8 9 7 8 9 7 8 9
0 P 0 0 F 0 0 X 0

This way you could go up to 987 on each letter giving account for
duplicate numbers. You could even borrow a numeral not being used
from another swatch if need be. Just adding a few cents to the pile.

If Chip Goss knows where to get numeral patches already made then
maybe that's the way to go. A final thought; if the badges change
that's alright it will be away we all can tell how long a particular
person has been LB'n.
