Letterboxing competitive? Really? That would mean I'm letterboxing for
all of you. I letterbox for my own enjoyment, why should I care about
what all of you are up to? Typical of the human animal though to make
everything about wining and conquering others. I remember a time when
most people on this list signed their posts with their PFX count.
Maybe that should be brought back then you can give everyone on this
list power over your self esteem...
The question is not 'how many boxes did you find' or 'what box did you
find that no one else has found' but 'did you have fun finding them?'
The rest just gives others power over your own happiness. Leave the
playground mentality to the children and be responsible for your own
psyche.

I can agree with what you say. Ask me how many boxes I found and I'll
give you a blank stare. I simply don't know. Ask me the names of the
boxes I've found and I'll give you the same blank stare. Ask me to
tell you about my favorite letterboxing outing and you'll have to duct
tape my mouth to shut me up. Just don't ask me the box name or where
exactly I found it.

Well said, both of you! Many thanks for echoing the sentiment of many, I am sure!
