Awwww...c'mon Ryan. We've been so good on the list
lately. Can't we turn into an unruly mob just for a
little while?

Hey, I'm all for unruly mobs, but it needs to be something I'm
actually passionate about. Five dollars for a letterboxing class
doesn't really get me excited, though. *shrug* =) I'd rather
create a mob of people out to heckle wanna-be letterboxers that can't
rehide a box well to save their life or plant boxes virtually on top
of somebody else's existing boxes.

Just a thought, no need to answer, just think about.

Aside from delivery method . . .

How is giving
live LB instruction - for profit

different from giving
written LB instruction - for profit?

Yeah, P.I.-- I kinda wondered the same thing myself, quietly, humbly... thinking "my, are we protective." And yet we worry about choosing a password to protect clues a little bit from 2 minute online drop-ins who may be there just for box-snatching?! Hmmm, guess I don't quite get it. We assume this teacher is either a nut, a jerk, or has a get-rich-quick scheme. Maybe, I don't know, but it doesn't sound all that sinister to me. Yes, the instruction may be a bunch of crap, but could we find out first before making all these assumptions? A simple phone call from someone in the area would probably do it. If the teacher needs help, maybe someone who cares can volunteer. If I weren't in PA, I'd do it. ---lunaryakketyact P.S. Sorry if this goes through twice; I was told my account was bouncing.
