Bravo!

Let's hope that the aliens now start cicrcling Argentina

Valentine, hi!!!
Of course you're not interfering, all suggestions are good.
When i receive mail art by snail mail i always prefer to answer in the same way, i think it is fair.
But, in this case, i think you are right, to give mail artists the opportunity to choose.
You can see now in the post the modified call.
bye valentine, thanks

Thanks Irene!

It doesn't make sense though because of this:

"Participants outside Argentina, only by email to..."

It suggests, and this was the point of my first message, that you would only accept contributions via emails from people outside Argentina.

But these would cost you nothing -- as the sender (me, for example) would be paying the postage from France to Argentina.

You could send documentation (acknowledgement of receipt, photos, etc) by email and/or on Pulpolandia, and that wouldn't cost you anything. It could all be done electronically, and you wouldn't have to pay for any stamps at all.

Forgive me if I am interfering, but this problem could be removed if instead of:

"Participants outside Argentina, only by email to..."

you changed the text to read

"Participants will receive an acknowledgement of their work by email, and the exhibition will be featured on Pulpolandia"

(You also need to add your postal address in the English version of your announcement)

Then, aliens like me from Jupiter could send you something for your Exhibition, and we would buy our stamps from the Jupiter Post Office.

I hope that this helps and that the project goes well.

Mark, i can't send documentation by snail mail in this moment because of the high cost of mail in this country, that is the reason.
I understand you like to send mailart by the traditional way...i also prefer
Thanks for your wishes and have a good day.

There must be something strange about aliens and Argentine.

I have come all the way from outer space and my Space Craft has (temporarily) landed in France. I wanted to send a photo post card of it to you, Irene, by regular mail, but see that I can't and that you'll only accept an email.

Well, where I come from (the 3rd ring of Jupiter, Western suburb) this just isn't done. It's real mail...or nothing. So I won't be sending anything, alas.

Good luck with those aliens!
