I think that my kids would be excited to have a letterboxing list for
kids only.
However I am wondering if I could put in a note of caution here. If
the name contains something that refers to kids it would attract more
kids but also it attracts bottom feeder types too. If you do start
one, could you name it so that it did not have a child like reference?
Like "letterboxing for short people", or maybe "midgetboxers"? Just
something that makes it harder to type in a search under Yahoo for
kids or children.
Other than that I think it is a great idea.
