New Poll

We've created a new Poll for your voting.
This question is a result of an on-going discussion on the Newboxers talk list. We were discussing better ways to ensure that a box remains where it belongs. Many of the contributing posters - both new and veteran boxers - feel that those boxes left out in the open and not hidden properly are found by new, casual letterboxers who join from all of the current rave of publication like Family Fun, etc.

The consensus was that these are not every publicity-drafted boxer but those that are unaffiliated because they do not belong to a talk list or don't read up on the hobby and just box willy nilly like the story posted several days ago where The Wildcats followed a family who let the children rehide the boxes in NH. They used the well-known "aim and throw" method of rehiding!

So we talked about better ways to preserve boxes and I brought up the fact that boxes hidden with difficult clues like mysteries with codes, pictures, etc. help deter the casual boxer from hunting these boxes.

Now it's time for you to weigh in! What say you - oh letterboxing public???
