Ruud Janssen's Comments

Ha Ruud,

Vandaag ontving ik je mailart & pretpakket. En dan nog 20 % korting bovendien!;-)

Bedankt! Ik zet 't op m'n blog.

Groetjes,

Ka

Glad You received this zine!

Oh, did you know Carlo?? I miss him so!

Thankyou, Ruud!

Happy Birthday to Bern Porter, who would have been 100 years old today. Born Valentine's Day, February 14, 1911, Porter Settlement (Houlton) Maine. "Things are in transition and we are faced now with the possibility of finding out what they truly are."

Thank you, Ruud.

An additional idea for you:

No one may PM another member before being accepted as that member's IUOMA Friend. Right?

It is easy to see where new persons here would be apt to see this same idea applied to their personal home mail. So you see, we had the inclination no trades would start before our acceptance.

in fact, speaking for at least 4 of us, no one would have said no to Brent's idea of a new trade--IF he had let us see that is what he wished.

Very simple, no?

Anyway, thanks for your time and patience.

Let's hope all will be resolved peaceably soon.

Ruud: We won't bother you with too many facts here. In any group, when decisions are made, anybody with a serious concern may feel let down. I had one address at outset. That address was removed the second day after beginning here. This was due to our mail handler deciding to take a sudden and extended break, possibly to leave our studio membership for good.

 

Brent may feel it is his right or prerogative to self-promote here. That is fine for some. My friends and I asked at the beginning for our first clue as to what to expect after becoming a part of IUOMA. Our studio includes different people with different ideas. We discuss and put issues to a vote before doing anything. 

I have just left a new comment over at Jen Stagg's on this subject. It may help to look it over. 

Sorry to be so blunt earlier. You see, when all is new and no one is explaining how things are meant to work, there can be a little confusion about what to expect. 

The former address was not listed for even 24 hours--barely overnight. Brent's idea was to send off something using that address. I had never heard of his work, nor been introduced to the idea he would like to trade. And the person whose address it is was genuinely surprised, and even a little alarmed. what else might end up in the mail the same way? What is to be expected? With a family member unwell, and another quite elderly and in poor condition, this person might not wish to be bothered by the personal contact involved. In fact, that is just what has happened. There was confusion about what was expected and how it might take shape. I'm afraid there's more to it than that. But i won't take up any more of your time. It is hoped our former member who was so badly shaken may come around soon, with apology, to explain.

I will try not to bother you again on this issue or any other matter.

Thank you for your consideration

Dear Ruud:

It is my first week as a mail-artist here on IUOMA, and already there's been a security issue. Please see my blog page here at IUOMA for the details.

Thank You

Sincerely, Rose M.

 

 

Thank you for the welcome. Do you know if there is any information that should be on my profile that I have not put on to it? I'm very new at this. I Hope you are having a beautiful day, Pamela.

What a fascinating website! I love it here! Thanks to anyone involved with the creation of this website and its wonderful features! Bless you!

You got a shout-out from some guy named Carl from Tuscon, AZ who called this radio show about snail mail.  He mentioned that he joined IUOMA  3 months ago!
