Switch, On the website, she says that she sells all her honey "at the Yountsville Farmers Market and the Napa Downtown Farmers Market."

Nowhere does she mention San Francisco, except in regards to where Dana lives, and even that is only mentioned in the blog.

I'm really not sure where you're trying to go with this.

That the AI made up a UPS store address in San Francisco? That the address will at some point become important?

I am sure people are keeping an eye on that location in case something evenually does show up in Box 510. I would not worry about it.

He's hopeless if he doesn't catch on by now.
Ignore him, maybe he will go away.

Look at it this way....

Is there anything in the plot that would make us think that the physical location of Margaret's bees and the shipping address is significant? So far, this entire story is set inside of a webserver sitting on the rack of some anonymous data center. Though the setting is significantly less sexy, the packages could have been mailed out of Toledo, and honey produced on a farm on the Lake Erie coast. Given the information gleaned from what we know are clues, the physical location of the people involved is completely incidental.

Now at some point those locations may be important, but there is nothing in the story to make us think that they are, other than the fact that Napa-produced honey being shipped out of SF might be a little weird. So, I would file the fact that those locations are kind of far apart as being a little weird, as focus on information the info that we KNOW are clues. The PMs are doubtlessly watching the major forums playing this game, and if they find that we aren't seeing a puzzle that they've put out there, they will find some way to let us know. Remember, they want us to find and solve these things.

It is speculation. The issue is whether or not it is appropos to the game as we currently know it.

To put it another way, should be have to speculate as to whether or not a puzzle exists? I don't have a lot of ARG experience, but it seems to of that someone who wants a puzzle to be solved had better find a clear way of telling people that the puzzle is there. Given the multitude of perfectly reasonable explanations as to why the honey is produced in 40 miles from where it shipped, I don't think that those locations alone provide a sufficient clue that there is an undiscovered puzzle out there, and so far the locations have zero to do with what we DO know.

I like where Theif is taking this. With all the Halo references on ilovebees, whose to say that the two locations don't correlate to something in the Halo universe? Of course, any and all speculation can lead to the right or wrong trail, but the idea is fun to toy with

[Lysit]

Well, has anyone personly checked these locations?
