I'm sorry you feel like everyone is picking on you. I don't think that
is their intention. It is difficult to discern exactly how things are
meant from just typed words on a screen. I think your initial post
came off as a little harsh, but obviously you were just exasperated.
So I also think that some of the responses seemed a little
condescending. But again, it is difficult to know what someone's tone
is from a computer screen. So would everyone please just step back and
leave it alone now?
I hope this initial experience on the posting boards will not
discourage you from further posts. Or, if you want a little bit more
tolerant forum, you could always try the boards on AQ.

I think that you were the first to judge and accuse when you posted a rant yelling at letterboxers whom you feel do not properly maintain their boxes. You don't know their lives either -- you don't know their circumstances, their schedules, their financial, family and work obligations. But somewhere in their most-likely hectic life, they took the time to create a letterbox and put it out there -- a gift for the letterboxing community. They may never hear anything further about it, it may go missing within days, or they may get years of pleasant found reports.
It is all a chance... both the planting and the finding. That is the nature of letterboxing. If that is not something you can handle without feeling the need to vent to the community as a whole, then perhaps as others have stated, this is not the hobby for you.
Slow down, smell the roses, enjoy the time spent with your kids. Think about those people whom you deal with on a daily basis, and more close to home for many here, a mid-atlantic letterboxer who just lost her daughter... don't you think they would give just about anything to have just one more hike with their child... with or without a letterbox?

This person has left our group. I believe it was someone trying to start
trouble - who knows, maybe someone we all know.
It looks like they have had their fun and have gone elsewhere.
I just got the notice that they unsubscribed.
Peace reigns again,
