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.
