Hi all! How does one go about getting the letterbox data base posted
by hexacat in the files section of the website? I clicked on it and
was able to see some neat things, but cannot figure out how to access
them or download them. Are they available? Cap'n Rasha

Hello -
Quite some time ago, most people decided to move on from the format of
a database. In it's true definition, it's just a listing - which is no
different than that offered by AQ or LBNA. I think Choi has done a
fantastic job of making the option available to list the clue/box status.
It is up to letterboxers to decide how they want to present their
clues and whether or not they maintain the status of their boxes on
the clue now. This means that maintaining a database where someone has
to manually input each and every time they find a box is an
inefficient method of tradking the current letterbox status.
Therefore, I suggest you contact the person who placed to box to
verify that the box is active or talk with others on a regional list.
I find that is far more helpful than pleading with webmasters to
create some list that you ultimately don't have control over.
As a letterbox placer you can be responsible for your box status.
As a letterbox FINDER it is also up to you to determine whether it's
active or not before you search.

Thank you for the info....I thought that perhaps that was a data base that I could use on my computer to record my own info for keeping records. I am looking for something like that instead of using an Excel spread sheet or the likes.
