The 2026 edition of the SDMB Postcard exchange - new management, old rules

I’ll play! PM to ensue shortly. Thanks for running it, @penultima_thule !

Just when I thought I was out, @penultima_thule pulls me back in! I know most folks will go Melo-who? But I do, in fact, still exist. Just not usually here - but always happy to get and give some mail love!

Holy cow, long time no hear!

Hey! There’s a name that brings back memories!

Welcome back!

Well one week down and results so far are quite encouraging … if I say so myself.

One socio-political fact which you might have noticed from the current list of participants.

There are no Canadians.

Maybe they’re too polite for postcards?

From the example shown by our friend @Spoons, you might be on the money.
But from past exchanges, I would have thought they were well represented.

If so, I will gladly accept a personal missive written on private stationery folded correctly and put in a stamped envelope. :grin:

Had no idea this was a tradition. Nothing better than a personal appeal for involvement, though. What the heck, I’m in! PM on the way.

Yay! Fresh blood postcards!

Hmm. Don’t know why I don’t appear on the list above. I sent my PM within minutes of posting on May 7.

Be assured that you are recorded on my list.

With coordinating control of this exchange being based “offshore” with the International Date Line and using AEST, you need to make allowance for USA CST being 16 hours behind Sydney.

Believe there have been four (4) additions to that list since publication.
Am still hoping for a couple more. Another international would be good too.

OK, thanks!

Oh, all right.

And I even have postcards; though I’ll have to look up what international postage is for them.

$1.70

Righto folks!!! Last week for acceptances.

Heaps of thanks to those who are participating and a call out to all other dopers who’d like to join in. C’mon, there has to be a couple of Canucks out there who still possess some reminisces of more more cordial times. :upside_down_face:

I think 8 mailing groups is about the biggest the exchange has ever been and by exploiting generosity 2026 might reach that benchmrk..

Have you posted in the Canadopers thread? (I’m on my phone and searching is a bear)

That source of wisdom and contacts has not crossed my radar.
Thank you. Shall virtually perambulate over there this evening.
If I get the shit flamed out of me for intruding … :upside_down_face:

Just be polite and offer them a Caesar and you should be okay.
