Note (Dec 2013): As I go thru the slow and tedious process of
re-orging my web site, I realise this page should probably be removed. But, I'm a big
fan of history, and there is alot of history here, and I think at least a few of the
ideas span the test of time. I realise some of these will never be found; I just don't
know which ones. I guess they can be left up as fodder for other puzzle clue writers,
(tho I imagine much better has been produced in the past 10 years), or at least they can
remain as part of the early days letterboxing zeitgeist. And besides, every now and then
I get a stray e-mail claiming one has been found. So, I guess this is an overly tedious
way of saying that this page is deprecated (in the computer science usage, of course),
a fact that has been obvious for a very long time. |
