| |  EA PEN PALS | |
Per the suggestion of the wise Holiday Card participants, lets have a seperate thread for EA Pen Pals so we can share real mail all year long, randomly.
I'll be the Pen Pal list keeper if you want me to, if you have been an EA member in good standing for longer than a year then just send me your address with PEN PAL as the subject, then indicate here in this thread that you want to participate - once a month I'll email the updated database list to the participants - that way it can be "on" year round.
Then each year we can do Holiday Cards seperately.
Waddaya think? |

And it wouldn't be as hard as mailing 16 cards at once.

I think it's just an address list that we can use to send one another snail mail for fun from time to time. Am I right, Leslie?

You already have my name in your holiday database. Feel free to add it to this one.
I have to post a disclaimer in advance: I am a lousy correspondent. Really lousy.

Well, because I said I'd delete the database each year to make people feel more comfortable about sending their RL info out, I did delete it already. Woman of my word and all that. 
But if any of you still have your copy, send it over, and I'll shuffle names and addresses as needed. |

I'll be in, but I'm like Sara. Terrible correspondent. I'll try though. Or maybe I could get the dog to write again.

postcards are easy! Even you bad correspondents can jot a note on a postcard. |

To answer a quietly asked Very Good Question...
Follow the Pen Pal thread periodically. If someone posts a desire to join and they are a user you have placed on your Ignore Posts By This User list (or similar Blocked IM list, etc), send me a quiet little PM of who it is, and I will NOT send them your particular RL info.
Does that take care of that issue to everyone's satisfaction? |

Wow. People actually use those block thingies?
Oh, no, I might be on somebodies block thingy. Should I be sad? Glad?

Not physically, because then Amy would know. Mentally? 
Okay, so it's not so much pen pals as a loosey-goosey here's a list and if you are feeling motivated, you can send somebody a card kind of thing? |

I'm in, and you've already got my addy on the list (assuming someone has sent you a copy already). And I don't have anyone blocked, so no prob there!

so really, it's just a bunch of friends exchanging addresses that they later will or will not use?  |

I'm sure we will use it - it's too much fun to get real mail from all over not to! |

FYI - I plan to post the first monthly list of participants here later in the week, then email the first monthly list of addresses out to the participants this weekend, in case there are more EAers who wish to get in on the action. |
