Ask Anything

There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

I like that we don't have to make our address available, during my busy times it means that I don't feel overwhelmed with mail that sends me into a panic to respond to.

I refuse to be part of any restrictions on members that require more than an email.

I have spent many years promoting an open - no rule type area for expression...

I have an active & positive e-mail art group here in which a physical address is not required...

I am against restricting members by imposing any unnecessary rules without just cause..

Nothing can or should be done about this...

If you need a snail mail address,
A good % of members have them...

Please Direct your attention toward them...

Carl Baker, hello!

I have all of my information posted and have had no "bad" mail in all of the years I've been on this site. I'm not sure why people only give an e-mail address. I never write to them to ask for a postal address, I skip over them. As for P.O. boxes, some people might not be able to afford a P.O. Box or not have a post office nearby, I don't know. Maybe some of those who don't give out their postal address will comment on this. There's nothing we can do about this. Just send mail to those who have their postal addresses listed. Easy.

hello moderator,

if this is a MAIL-art organization/union why do we have members who do not have a actual mailing address listed?  the iuoma site becomes a chat room for all unrelated topics. i think at very least a mailing address,

PO. box number should be provided, this is what we do, put postage on an envelope and send it by hand in the mail. if u can't do that don't be involved at iuoma. i do both, real mail-art and post things electronically.

thats my problem/question, what can be done?

dear mrs. de vaan,

yes mail art is very costly, but this is what we do.

send more mail-art today.

free art v. 2.0 is an official group at iuoma and may be

found under groups at the top of every page.

there i discovered another free art page created by some

mysterious person who remains anonymous.

the free art foundation blog is also dysfunctional.

i just have a question about the whole notion of

free-art, if anyone is doing free-art let me know

what it is, i am still working on my idea of free art so many of

the pces i post there are questions.

all art is free expression, we want to put$value on everything.

regards, cb.

Carl! Free mail art at least costs a postage stamp, doesn't it?

(What exactly is your question?

When you post a BLOG on the main page, insert the image first, and then the text. That way the image appears. Has to do with the NING settings for Blogs.....
