Don, a poll is a really good idea. This question/topic does seem to
be one of the recurring kind and a poll would let everyone who wanted
to voice an opinion. Might I suggest an alternative to just a Yes or
No question? I'm not sure if this could be done (not tech savvy) or
should be done, but could we have a catagory like the basement for
retired boxes?

i can't help but think this is so funny. wasn't it just a couple of days
ago that there was post upon post of near panic because lbna was down? and
now there is post upon post of complaining about the types, numbers, retired
missing, what ever you wish to call it boxes. unbelievable.
maybe i have a different way of looking at it. i don't see lbna as only a
place to get clues. i see it as a piece of living history. letterboxes of
the past and letterboxes of the now. if a placer has not marked their box as
missing and i go to look it for it and i don't find it...... no big deal. i
still have gotten out, i still have seen the place that the placer intended
me to see, i still enjoyed myself, and i still know that at one time there
was a letterbox there.
bottom line is someone is responsible for this site. a person has cared
enough about letterboxing to make this site available to us and to recruit
ones like choi to keep it running. if this person wants to keep every clue
from the beginning of letterboxing till now and forever on it, then that is
just fine with me. thank you lbna for being there.

My view is that the placer owns the clues, so if you want to remove them,
that's up to you. The note on the delete page is just there for people to
consider, not as any kind of rule. Personally, I don't think there is a big
problem with leaving clues to retired letterboxes in the database. Abandoned
clues that don't accurately list their status is much more annoying to me,
but a very tricky issue to try to address.
