My email addy is no secret although I did change it from my work one to a personal one. It’s in my profile.

[QUOTE=Noone Special]  
…Actually, it’s a nice idea in general 🙂 Why not make it a matter of policy that the mailing addresses we get will all be accompanied by matching e-mails (unless the recipient has asked for the email not to be given out)?

What say the others? Yay, Nay?

\*\*GT \*\*-- would it make more work for you to do this?  
[/QUOTE]  
It’s a little bit more; we’ll see how it goes with compiling the whole list. I’ll plan to send the addresses of those who have said it was OK…

I’ll also post the rate for international mailings from the U.S. to the international destinations in the list…

Anyone else?

Yeah, it’s fine with me.

(sorry, I misread:

as “if you don’t want to get an email,” not “if you don’t want to say in this thread if it’s okay,” so I hadn’t responded.)

Okey, dokey… I’ve responded to **Lionne’s** e-mail. I’m going to work on the lists a bit and might post the latest compilation later. Or not… 😃

While Valentine’s day is not commonly celebrated in my corner of the world, despite the efforts of florist’s shops to introduce the concept, I would like to participate. Email sent.

Oh, crap, I got busy and forgot to check back on this. Is it too late? I’ll respond to the e-mail anyway. If I’m too late for Valentine’s Day, include me on St. Patrick’s anyway. (But I’m really looking forward to getting a valentine from **FairyChatsMom**!)

It’s not too late, **Sunrazor**. (Deadline is really late Friday night.) I haven’t checked my e-mail yet today. Have errands to run and will then check for the latest entries.

Last chance! I’ll be putting lists together tonight and checking to see if there are any late updates before sending in the morning. I’ll post something here once I’ve sent everything.

OK - I’ve had a change in my schedule this morning and need to be out of here earlier than I’d planned. I’ve got about an hour’s worth of work left to do before I can send, but won’t be able to get back to it till about 1:00 this afternoon (U.S. Eastern time). So expect e-mails mid-afternoon.

In the meantime, here’s some information about international rates for mail sent from the U.S.:  
Normal-sized envelopes: (letter and legal): .90 for 1 oz. or less  
Odd-shaped, square or envelopes “containing a rigid object,” i.e. anything that can’t be machine stamped: $1.07 for 1 oz. or less. [Here’s the USPS](http://ircalc.usps.gov/default.aspx?Mode=Intl_Single&CID=10150) Web site where you can check out all the possibilities.

Can’t wait! I bought my valentines and some stickers this week, and I need to run by the post office for some more stamps. If we don’t have more than 32 players, I can send to everyone!

I’m not going to do _that_ many (for me you’re **all** “international”!); but I’ll try to send to those sending to all as well as to whoever I’m allotted by GT!
