Ok, so letterboxing really is not about the count for me...it's about
getting out and seeing new places and finding pretty stamps.
HOWEVER. Since there's been so much discussion about F-counts and
restrictions and whatnot, I have a question.
I've found several boxes that are listed only on letterboxing.org, so
I can't log them in as found on AQ. This makes my F-count
artificially low. I'm not about to start pestering LB.org posters to
cross-post their clues...that's up to them if they want to use both
sites. But is there a way to log LB.org-only finds on AQ? And vice
versa?

If you become a premium member on Atlasquest ($30/year) you can list your
unlisted finds.

Funny you should mention this. I had (out of sheer laziness and
inertia) just recorded our finds on lb.org, because it was the first
site we started to use. Not so much to count, but just so we would
know which ones we had already looked for.
After all this discussion, I decided to go back and log our finds
onto AQ. And darned if many boxes (esp older ones) were not there;
or some were listed as one box when they were really multiples,
etc. So the F-restriction is even more arbitrary than first
suspected. Not through anyone's fault -- just sheer randomness.
