Comment by carl baker on November 30, 2014 at 3:34am: to members, ya i agree w/ richard, quite amazing in a mail-art group where

ppl don't want to share their address, get w/ the program, this is about connecting openly w/ other creatives, some ppl nowadays are so suspicious and panicked about doing normal activities. please go to my page and see my address, we need more mail-art!

Comment by Richard Canard on November 26, 2014 at 4:29pm: 26.11.14 Dare Envelopes & Ms. Annette R., ...Yes, preserving one's privacy is indeed important. That's why I generally send all my postcards to "PostSecret" & otherwise always sign them anonymously. Sometimes, I don't even bother to send them to begin with. This way, everyone possibly involved is safe. ...& as ironic as it may seem, this sez a lot for the process of sending things a la "naked mail". Did you know that there are certain postmen who will actually read your postcard before it is even delivered to your mailbox??(....not to mention that "Big Brother" has a way of knowing everything anyway). Take care. & Bitter Safe than sorry as I am, Richard C.

Comment by Annette R on November 26, 2014 at 2:56pm: I have to ask why is it a lot of people don't cover the postal addresses to protect the privacy of the person who sent them some mail art before posting it here on the site ? I know if I sent someone some mail art I wouldn't want my address still showing on the envelope for everyone to see.
