There used to be dozens. Trying to see how many we have here. What happened to them all??

Very true Michael. Is the Royal Mal pricing us out of existence perhaps?

It's trying it's hardest Andy, that's for sure!  That and the interweb.  Though heartened to see so many newcomers here. Sadly I dont have time to send mail to everyone these days. Back in the 80's I would have done and been quite excited by getting rubber stamped envelopes, photocopies to pass on and postcards covered in scribble, but after 30 odd years  ( yes, very odd!)  of the stuff and an archive full to overflowing  I am rather all mailed out. I cant give it up completely though and do contribute to projects if I am invited and they appeal to me.

I have lost touch with many of my old contacts since joining IUOMA online. Almost all the snail mail art I get is from new friends made through it. Has everybody else given up?

I feel the same as Mike, I reply to projects but I do not initiate them anymore. It is mainly the work involved in preparing the documentation, as well as the cost. I have noticed that Guido Vermulen's projects are documented online in his blogs, despite that the work is sent to him by snail mail. I have been thinking of doing the same but I wonder if it is a good idea. One modification to this would be to ask for snail mail art, acknowledge receipt straight away with a postcard but do the documentation online.

By the way, Dawn, I am glad you started this discussion; it is a question that has bothered me for a while.

There are dozens among the members of the IUOMA alone.  I have dozens more in other lists compiled over more than 20 years.
