Postcard Exchange Round 14 Sign Up

[rst]

Ha ha, the funniest spam I ever saw. But you forgot to tell us about how many postcards you are going to send And I need your address too.

Hey and btw, the one camera project is fun, I was myself in two rounds (2 and 4). Hmmm, then it is time for round 6 ...

Now that I (finally) sent my cards for round 13, I guess it's okay to sign up for the next round.

Count me in for the max. Same address.

Are we crying out to see other parts of the world, now that air fares with fuel surcharges are going to price themselves out of reach?

Are we overly patronizing of Canada Post, who gives us no cut in price for mailing a postcard?

Any other random reasons?

I look over the list and from past postings and names I recognise see at least 6 out of the 42 are from Canada.

It seems that we are a little over represented here, even if the population we are drawing from is just the mostly English speaking first and second world populations.

When I first started in Round #5 there was only a couple of us joining in the exchange but it's so much fun! (and addictive) And yes it is a little pricey. That's why you limit yourself to 20 or 30 cards to keep the costs somewhat lower.
And yes, it is pretty cool to get a postcard from Australia, Andorra, Norway, Germany, and England.

At the moment there are 21 participants from the US, 9 from Canada and 3 from the UK, the rest of 9 participants comes from Australia, Andorra, Ireland, France, Norway, The Netherlands and Germany. I think there were more people from the UK once.

I know my last two lists were "foreign" heavy. I had more postcards heading overseas than staying in North America. Just the way the numbers randomize!

Hi Ruediger,

Looks like you've rejected my extremely long address!

Can you sign me up for 40 please?

Cheers
