Here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for, the chance to
comment on the question of the week. So, without further adieu, here it is:
At what moment, do you think, this list turned into the newboxer's
list? When did people find discussion so lacking that they need a
question of the week? When did the list become so wimpy that folks go
running to the moderators when they feel a topic is even the slightest
bit offensive? When did logic get thrown out the window in favor of
emotion?
So, what are your thoughts?

I log on and off the big list based on what's going on in my life. I decided
to log back on and found that nothing much was happening. yes, the list was
lacking. lacking traffic. lacking content. After an interesting discussion
with a fellow boxer I decided to post the same question to the list. THE
list that is supposed to be for everyone. No local boxers, not newbie
boxers, not veteran boxers, just boxers.
.Don't know anything about people running to the moderators or logic vs
emotion. All I know is, I like asking and hearing the answers to the
question of the week. You don't like it, feel free to delete it. It's as
simple as that.
So THAT being said it is again Wednesday and here it 'tis the much awaited
for Humpday Question of the Week:
Do you attend letterboxing events? What has been your favorite letterboxing
event to date?
Sincerely,
Talking Turtle
Not a New Boxer, not a wimpy boxer, although sometimes logical and sometimes
emotional boxer, but mostly just a boxer.

Ah, a real question! I guess they're not all redundant!
I am new to letterboxing, so I have not yet attended an event. If I ever do, I am sure it will have to be only a close one. I am not a very social person, and going to an event where I don't know anyone would be a bit uncomfortable for me.

I'd love to attend more boxing events and plan to. So far we have only been
to two, a local one, and the biggie We Live and Breathe. I feel so grateful
that our schedule enabled us to be in Oregon at the right time. I was
beyond magical.

I have been to a couple events and love them, except I tend to spend too
much time exchanging and not enough time boxing!
I guess my favorite event was my first at "Fall is Here 2007".
I'm hoping that the one I am going to this weekend "Summer is HERE!:
Hudson Valley" will be the best one to date...

Me too! Especially hoping that the weather cooperates this weekend!
I've been to a few events over the past two years, and I've enjoyed all of them for different reasons. Sometimes when I'm with my daughter I end up worrying about her and don't get to do things that I would have liked to do otherwise. So I REALLY enjoyed Tune In/Toon Out this year, since I went with a friend instead :-) But my daughter is coming this weekend, and I know we'll have an awesome time!

--The big list, why do I still read it? Well I like the fact it's boxers from all over not just my cozy little corner of the Mid-Atlantic. Over the years I've met quite a few and it's nice to see their name on a post and feel connected.
I have to admit I do enjoy the occasional flame. I've been flamed a few times. Once as a newbie and really got my feelings hurt. Now I don't take it personally.
I also despise the AQ lists(sorry Ryan) . Too clunky to navigate for me, way too many of them and most not really related to Letterboxing.
So there, that's my 2 cents.
OT, Nathan have you read Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink. You might want to get rid of your tag line about women and eye rolling. I think I'll leave it there and see what kind of responses I get.

Hikers and Hounds annual event at Tyler State park. Why? Low key, I know most of the people who attend so I only have to do a few exchanges, I love winter boxing and best of all the overnight with the RHLBers in the hostile hostel.

Hi Miz Scarlet & Cyclonic! Glad to see there are still others on this list.
I don't care if there is a ToTW (Topic of the Week), we still have them
occasionally on our regional board whenever the whim strikes someone.
Individuals answer if they feel like adding to the conversation, and ignore
if it doesn't interest them.
I had to laugh about your comment on the AQ lists! I tend to agree and
prefer the Yahoo groups. It's too bad some of them have withered away. The
funny thing is, the feeling is mutual. The Big Green Turtle recently posted
on his blog that he "absolutely loathed the Yahoo Groups" (JUN 24).

The Atlas Quest boards are manageable, provided that one uses the "ignore" function liberally.
The structure of them isn't the best I've seen, but then, neither is the structure of the Yahoo! boards.

I guess my real question is are we going to all go along with having some trivial question of the week like "do you enjoy going to gatherings?" or are we going to have controversial questions asked?
Like Nathan did, What is the future/reason for this list even to exist? The newboxers list now has more members than this one. Kinda sad if you ask me, considering the reasoning behind the Newboxer's list was for people to get their feet wet before leaving there and coming over here to participate in the grown up conversations. I'd like to ask questions like: Why has the the general population just excepted that one person making a profit off of our game been allowed to decide the future of what letterboxing is and will become? (I know this isn't really fair to ask right now, because that person is on vacation in Spain at the moment).

...speaking of PT's...I have oh, so many questions. Thought I had been
playing this game long enough - but maybe not.I was reading something just
the other night, where the boxer was upset because someone gave out their PT
"too easily".
I have one PT that you can just ask for, and one that you have to figure
something out. I made it knowing full well that not a lot of people would
"get it". And I'm fine with that - so if somebody makes a concerted effort,
but can't solve it - I'm apt to give it anyway.
I know there are boxers that absolutely won't give out their PT until you do
the correct thing. I'm happy with that, too.
I'm just curious - if you have a PT - are you a stickler for the absolute?
Or more apt to be with the "free love" society??
I'm kind of curious to see where most boxers land.

Amazing! We just came back from a little letterboxing get-together (which I
organized, but did NOT list on AQ) and a few of us were discussing many of
these very same things. I am just one person, but am trying to keep (or get
back) some of what we initially liked about letterboxing. One of my
particular pet peeves is how the word "letterbox" has become so diluted in
meaning. Many now use it to refer to any rubberstamping activity.
Thanks for bringing some of the real issues to the forefront.

I think this one of Briann's points. The idea fof the PT has become diluted. It seem s everyone had 2 or 3. But it's your PT you can do what ever you want with it. Yes, there will always be the letterbox police who want you to do it their way, but so what.
I ,frankly was kinda tired of the whole PT thing, it's just another stamp. Yes sometimes really great art work. But I'm such a hypocrit, I have a fairly new PT, Box Slut. But most people don't really seem to get it(, no Brian I don't want sex in the woods.) The clue asks you to give something up. I'm trying to be a little more picky about what that something is, but I'm a box slut so I give it up anyway. I just can't help myself.

--A little devil's advocate here, as an event planner it is nice to know about how many people are going to show up. 4 or 40 , how many bags of chips do I need? I know someone who went across the county to a gather where the only other person was the host. The event stuff is the one feature of AQ I like. It just seems like there are way too many now. Yes, I have been part of some gathers posted, just dinner get togethers. But it is kinda hard to wade though them all now. I look for the event planners name now so I can figure out where it is and just who might be in attendance.

I think other boxers' PTs are their choice whether to clue or "just ask"! If they want to clue them but then just give them out, that's up to them, too. Though if I'd spent a lot of time solving something, I could see feeling a bit peeved if it was just handed to the next person.... My PTs are clued, but I'm willing to give hints to anyone who is interested!

Maybe we have moved on from dromedary (one hump) to the Bactrian camel (two humps)which are much less common and found generally only on the Big List.

I know you weren't referring to me %^) BUT, I have two 'guess if you
can' PTs. One has a limit of 3 trys per day -- just to make it less
annoying for me %^0 The other doesn't and when folks sitting in a group
just call out (I won't say shout) answers, I'm inclined to just say no
to each one. Although I might sidle up to them later and give them the
stamp. Slack boxing on PTs just isn't right and should be left behind.
so so bipolar when it comes to LB'ng personalities

can' PTs. One has a limit of 3 trys per day -- just to make it less
annoying for me %^0 The other doesn't and when folks sitting in a group
just call out (I won't say shout) answers, I'm inclined to just say no
to each one. Although I might sidle up to them later and give them the
stamp. Slack boxing on PTs just isn't right and should be left behind.
so so bipolar when it comes to LB'ng personalities

Dearest SSB - you are not the only letterboxer in the sea that adheres to the "stickler" rules!! And I take it on as a challenge...'till we meet again!! And I will have three more guesses ready...
Personally, I enjoy the stamps (of any type/box) more when I have to work to get them.
It's what the game's all about, isn't it? If we wanted them handed to us on a platter....there's always AC Moore...

Not all Letterboxes are for everyones consumption and the same can be said for Letterboxing sites.
If you don't like Atlas Quest then don't use it.
(That also means don't use alter egos to toss in nasty comments on the boards which is very much like tossing a handgrenade and leaving the room)
You can use part of Atlas Quest and you can block the stuff you do not like.
I do not like, cooties, PTs, dumpster boxes, Letterbox Trading Cards,on line logging,on line comments from finders and many other things that have popped into this game, but I don't have to participate in these aspects of what others consider part of the game.
Gatherings? Large ones we dislike, but small unorganized get to gethers are great. We participate with the ones we like.
I mentioned in an earlier post how this list has dwindled down as compared to the Newboxer list. While I too think that is sad, it may have more to do with the acidic tone rather than real content. I think the 'grown up' discussions many times result in 'juvenile' nastiness.
The Newboxer list has helped in removing some of the tired questions such as "What is a Hitch Hiker?" for the 34th time, and with the newboxer receiving friendlier responses I think it is quite natural that the newboxer would continue at that chatlist.
Making profits from Letterboxing???
There are several examples I could use, but here is a couple.....
Letterbox Home Companion, probably not a large section of Randy's portfolio but never-the-less there is a potential profit motive and certainly a direction in what he would consider an explanation of the game.
There are numerous Pub boxes in Dartmoor that are used at a magnet for customers, and most of those have a history that outdates our own history of letterboxing on this side of the pond.
Ryan's efforts in creating "his" idea of a letterboxing site is not so foreign to many new boxers, but if one fails to use a part or piece of Atlas Quest in atleast searching for clues then they are only reducing the potential for finds.
I do not believe that it is possible to put the genie back into the bottle and pop the cork back on, so the best bet is to use what you want and disregard the stuff you don't want.

Maybe we have moved on from dromedary (one hump) to the Bactrian camel (two humps)which are much less common and found generally only on the Big List.

LOL! It wasn't private, just wasn't mentioned on AQ. A group of 16 local
boxers who still look at our regional board met with 2 visiting letterboxers
from Oregon. It was easy to post the info, find out how many would be there
and then contact the pub/restaurant who graciously set up an area for us and
allowed separate checks.

I use the term fairly liberally. I think of those boxes placed without much thought, effort,and particularly those that are placed just to have "one" out there. Lacking anything exceptional in location, clues,stamp,hike, or any other redeeming factor. (Yes I realize this sounds like just another snobbish comment)
Many (not all) could be covered under the "Plant a Letterbox Day" and most would be a driveby.

Usually dumpster boxes are planted in the little patch of overgrown ick that tends to be behind many a dumpster.
