Since, as far as I can tell, my third postcard has not been received, I’m going to resend that one - I meant to do so earlier this week, but time flew away. I bought the stamp at lunchtime though, and I’ve got the card at home - I’ll just need to address it and send it. ---

It came, **Lsaura**! I was out of town and just had a chance to go through the backlog of mail, and found a lovely card from Atlanta waiting for me. Thanks! ---

Well, then, no second postcard for you. 😉 (glad it got there, and now I have an international postcard stamp all ready for the next round. 🙂 ) ---

Question: I sent out 3 postcards to each of my 3 people. One person has received two of them (Iggy). Two people haven’t reported in so I don’t know if they’ve received any of them. Do I need to send another out to the two we haven’t heard from? ---

Two people haven’t reported in so I don’t know if they’ve received any of them. Do I need to send another out to the two we haven’t heard from? No. If they haven’t checked in here, as requested in the OP, you need not cater to their sloth. ---

Hi! I received all three of mine. I had meant to post earlier, when I got each one, but, er, ah, sloth, kept me. Yeah, that’s why! The last was from Iggy, and I had gotten the others earlier! Thank you all! My kids thought that was really cool. ---

Thanks, everybody. I’ll start it up on Monday. Last chance to report, if you haven’t already, on postcards sent or received. The penalties warned of in the OP may yet be imposed, so watch your step… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-winter-2014-postcard-exchange/679322.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-winter-2014-postcard-exchange/679322.md?page=10)
