"This is a discussion group for letterboxing enthusiasts in the New
World. The list is intended for sharing of ideas, stories, tips, news,
advice, and clues related to the hobby of letterboxing."

It is not for venting.

FYI there are a few times when the topics on this list get screwed up
and stray away from letterboxing. Some of those times happen due to
ignorance and some other times occur when a troll cruises into the
chatlist and trys to stir things up. Usually when there is several off
topic posts by the same person then it 'could be' the latter example I
cited. Most folks seem to be able to express their thoughts in one or
two posts, while those that post repeatedly and try to stir things up
could be a 'gamer'. We have had our share of 'gamers', and for those
that do not understand what a 'gamer' is here is a short description.
A gamer establishes a false personsa, posts to a chatlist and trys to
create a dialog very quickly. If they are lucky enough to establish
themselves they gain points similarly to the way we record finds. They
try to work sympathy, create heated discussions and start flames. The
more they stir up the chatlist the better they like it. Now I'm not
pointing any fingers, but the easiest way to discourage a gamer is not
to play.
