Totally missed your remarks on DEFILED on the Comment Wall section. Didnt even know it existed until today. THANK YOU for taking the tie to look at my work. May I excerpt some of your comments for my pres kit/ website? Endorsements and kind words are always welcome. Thank you so much. JG
Thanks Bifidus! Darlington FC are having yet another bad season, but that's been the story for most of the last 50-55 years i havebeen following them. I mailed you something earlier today. Would you like a Darlington FC mail art piece some time?
Hello!
I sent you an envelope with collages, I'll be glad to get acquainted.
I like your site, you are doing good work connecting artists MAIL ART throughout the world.
Very glad to get acquainted, to communications.
Sincerely, Vadim Katorgin
Yay! 'glad "H" arrived safely through the snow drifts? Maybe all that white stuff has melted and you have a bit of sunshine up-north? Thanks for the nice comments...I love Seferis' poetry! Hope all is well and your "P" is coming along fine...'be waiting for it ;-)
Wow! right on..Cavafy sings to my very soul...when I was young I read him in English, but now :-) 'tis amazing in Greek. (and even better when sailing to Ithaca)...though, as you understand, the journey is the thing, to get there is your ultimate goal, but don't rush the journey.... Na'σαι καλά!
Dear Bifidus, your message is like a warm spring breeze on this February morning. We must, we MUST find time to confer, epecially concerning the Haptic Front and the developments of Sandpo via Katerina. You know I am eagerly awaiting your chapter as there is always a gap when you are not part of the conversation. I must stay current on the Brooklyn project. I do like dedicating things to people as it often acknowledges influence and inspiration. On a more practical level, the poet Jack Spicer said: "Always dedicate your poem to someone. That way you know you will have at least one reader." Regards, I am studying your Eduardo blog - nice one!
Yay! P for Pandora! How amazing! 'Love the grid, will spend hours at it! Thank you so much, Bifidus. It came along with good company in the mail box: also "V" and "X"!
hello Mr. Bifidus!
two mails i've sent you have been, alas, returned to me! i wonder if your address on this page is the current one, or shall i chalk it up to Chinese postal mysteries and send them off again?
hope you are well,

Yes, I thought that in pre-archeological eras they might use ancient forms of orthography - so I adopted 'Ff' from Europe's oldest living language & the letter 'w' ( the long vowel "oo").
Btw Ff is what is called a compound letter in Welsh (pronounced "f") (whereas Welsh 'f' makes the sound "v")
I loved the wonderful shape Katerina used for 'w' too.
Hi Bifidus...your Pfantastic booklet arrived today, thank you. It\s refreshing and original from the signature procedure to the list of evils of the world...actually I was dealing with the 20L11....:-)
Hi Bifidus! I'm feeling great. Up to my eyeballs in art ideas. Very Excited. Zena is the best cat I've ever had. She's so into me! And the Catnip. Hope you're doing well. I have a piece for you.
Bonjour M. Bifidus! Thanks for your latest creation -- the 'Valentine Snapshots' were a special treat. I think Valentine postcards are still sold in the UK. and all that modern music stuff.
I liked the Scmitt Music Company buidling -- great painting on the wall. I have no idea what the score is from, have you? Sorry to hear about your failed organ+piano+violin career, but hope that you can at least work a CD player.
His Satanic Majesty de Sigean acknowledges receipt of the photo of the Queen of the Pickled Evensongs, Clementine 111;
She has been added to the Royal Wedding Mailing List.
The photo card was interesting: I save them, especially the smaller versions (about ATC size) and have got some great ones from the UK, France and Austria. Often the information on the back of the card about the photographer is more interesting than the portraiture on the front.
Have you been reading about the problems that the Duke of York has been having in his role as Trade Ambassador? It's quite obvious to me that he's spent too much time looking after the financial interests of his Duchess, and too little time consuming Yorkie bars.
Some cheeky bastard sent me EMPTY Yorkie wrappers!! I spent the rest of the day sniffing the envelope and grumbling to myself. Wicked! You are Wicked, you are!
