Count Log-Ins?

Isosceles, I think maybe you misunderstood my question.
When I made my first letterbox, I checked on it like every week. It
never failed to amaze me that someone took interest in MY box and had
the courtesy to stop by and visit it. It was such a pleasure to get
a new stamp.
However, my box kept getting ruined from the get-go . . . vandalized,
floods, etc. My precious stamp-ins!!! SO I began to tear out any
fresh log-ins and take them home for their assured safety (I'm not so
emotionally connected to them nowadays).
I just think each log-in is so special. When someone takes the time
to search out a box (searching for the clues and expending the effort
on foot to track it down), I don't know, it just seems a shame not to
recognize all the visits each box gets.
It's not a big deal. I was just wondering if everybody counts them
in some way that I might be missing out on. Please nobody think I'm
being over the top for my curiosity.

It might be practical to count your finds if all your boxes are nearby
and in limited numbers. I have over 150 boxes spread across 26
different states and 6 countries, and I'd be pretty hard-pressed to do
a count of log ins. Just not practical!

I take my digital camera with me when I go on maintenance visits, to
record all the LB logs. That way if something goes wrong (the LB gets
stolen or waterlogged) I have a record of the pages.
