Welcome to the 2026 SDMB “Canuck Free” Postcard Exchange.
The nomination phase is now closed. We now proceed to distribution. ![]()
Profuse thanks to all the participants who listened/tolerated my weeping, bellowing, cajoling and spamming and yet still were sufficiently generous in spirit to join in.
We ended up with 29 individual Dopers, which I think is a near historic high. This includes six posters who offered to double up and six internationals.
29 is a prime number so creating the groups of four involved some mathematical licence to share the goodwill as equitably as feasible. FWIW posters were categorised broadly into USA East, USA Central, USA West, and International. The aim was for all the groups to get a selection from each category. As there are more groups than internationals, that concept went slightly pear-shaped. But all postcards in the exchange will cross over state, if not regional, lines.
PMs for the distribution lists will be issued imminently.
Just for giggles I have included with each posters address details their distance in KMs from the spiritual home for Dopers i.e. The Chicago Reader, their what.three.words location and their Blabex quotient as proposed by poster wolfpup.
So now it’s all up to your good selves to make the magic happen. The nominated closing date for postcards to be mailed is Sunday 7th June, but early birds get the kudos. Please update the thread with your postal egress and ingress.
Kind regards
PT
