It was situations close to this that gave my husband a new brilliant idea.
Another letter to add to our PFX counts, an A standing for Assists. Just
like in the NHL. If you help the planter plant it +1 A, if you adopt a
letterbox, +1 A, if you plant a box from another state for someone +1 A...
you get the idea.

Subject: [LbNA] Re: Boxes that have since been orphaned


Shortly after I started letterboxing two years ago, a box in this
area lost its stamp to geo-trinkets. The question was raised on the
list as to whether finding the stampless box was an "F" and the FAQ
was cited, defining an "F" as being a complete stamp exchange. So
the FAQ may have changed at some point, but it has read this way for
the past 2 years.

But, that was back when I was anal about my numbers. I think when
you are new at something you tend to look for some tangible way to
define it and measure your success. The funny thing is, I ended up
adopting this box since it was near my house and the original placer
was no longer an active 'boxer. I carved a new stamp and have since
then done maintenance on it. Not an "F", not a "P", just one of
those things you do in the spirit of the game.
