Hi Jim, that’s a Gergel.

I’ll send some various Add and Passes your way, I seem to take all the homeless ones in. I’m always open for adding and passing. Welcome!

Hey everyone. I posted a blog about this mysterious add and pass that I received, but after reading through this group I suspect that I also received some of the “Gergen” mail. All the sheets have the marker sorts/lines border. I thought it was a bit odd that they were xeroxed, with. I thing else added to them besides some stickers, and the marker. I’m guessing he is targeting new folks? I was super stoked to have received some mail, and the slightly less stoked to find out that it was semi-fake lol. If anyone wants to send me some
actual add and pass mail, I’m down to add to it, and send on. My address is on my profile. Thanks. -Jim Rice ( Devolved Post).

Thanks, Mim. If I wasn't clear, I believe the Opal moiety signatures are fake as well. Opal Nations stopped mailing a LONG time ago (too bad really). The fakes appeared during the modest uptick in Opal Nations interest on FB. This is conjecture, I must add;

Pam McVay - I think you have to delete yourself to leave an IUOMA-Ning group you joined. Another Deletist!

Can someone take my picture out of this group and remove me from this list please?  I really don't want to be part of Add and Pass.  Thank you!

Good morning. Thanks DeVillo. I’m mail art friends with the NM artist snd I remember well when things were happening. Glad Opal is still alive and well.

Also so sorry to be so long-winded. I had really wanted to write an article about the fakes.

I have reservations about naming people in public but Dennis Gergel (I believe that is accurate) has contacted a number of us here, so we've been pulled into this. I didn't realize a number of fake DSF Cult a&ps were circulating.

With any A&P, it's up to you (the recipient) to decide what to do: Circulate or not, contribute to the art or not, document online. It's just a matter of your own ethics & conscience.

There is no money involved, so it would be of no interest to a lawyer if anyone is worried about that. If you are outside the USA, there is not much anyone can do, So please do not worry if you are "holding" a fake DSF A&P or contributed to one.

When I dug into the fake DSF A&Ps I made some inquiries among mail artists on FB. DSF (Michael Kelly) called the fake right away. A woman artist from New Mexico, USA (not an IUOMA-Ning member) identified the fake and said she had been receiving unwanted mail from DG for a long time. A few other women responded as well - but I'm a bit hazy because it was "just another night on the job."

Opal moiety - those have been turning up too. Funny about that as well: Everything isn't about me. BUT! I put out a call for info about a veteran mail artist named Opal L. Nations who is a legend but MIA. Joey Patrickt reported Opal is still alive and living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Great! I love Opal. Then the Opal moiety tidbits start arriving. Strange,

To be honest, I suggested to DSF (via messenger) that I post the fakes online and share the narrative. Then at least we could see what's being discussed. For whatever reason, DSF didn't want the fakes published. The woman artist was adamant they not appear. In truth, you or I can post the A&Ps. I just didn't out of deference to the women & DSF. I sort of wish this had all come out a few months ago,

Thank you for putting up with my rants! DVS

Opal moiety. I got that on one of mine. But I’m sure Gergen wrote that himself. Check postmark. Or Opal doesn’t realize it came from Gergen.

The one I got had Opal something--I thought it was Misty but may have been Moiety-- and a SF P.O.Box written on two pages.

Hey Guys, I get the Gergel "Tampa/St. Pete" postmarked mail pretty often and I toss them right in the recycle bin. He's an idiot because he spends all that money on postage. I don't appreciate anything that does not have a return address. He's a sociopath. His trademark is the dot-boarders made with markers. I've been getting mail from Opal Moiety in San Francisco that has the same dots. Any connection there?
