Autumn-

Did you include the list of addresses in the package with the box? If so, it shouldn't be too hard to add people to the list if the person that has the box checks in before sending it on. I just want to be sure that I understand how you worked it. I'm inspired to begin work on my own postal box I'll let folks know when I'm ready to begin another list.

Hopefully the first person to receive it will post to the list. I'm
actually not sure if Wes was on the list at all. (trying to remember
if I ever rec'd his mailing address for the list).

Adding folks to the list at this point is going to be trickier,
because it will mean catching the box wherever it is,and asking
whoever has it to add the person on.

Wes - if you want to be on the list, let me know.

finder!!!

Hi Deb,
I'll field this one for Autumn just so you have a timely response to
your question. Yes, a list of names and addresses is provided inside
the postal lbox. A note also implores the finder to please post that
the box was received on the talk list. At this point I suppose people
could quickly request to be added to the address list, but that would
probably be at the goodwill of the finder. Some folks might just want
to send it along and not fuss with that, others may gladly add new
addresses to the list.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks Mark, that does help. I've got glorious plans for another one, but lets see if I can accomplish that.(I've got a very strong Aries trait of procrastination!)

Hey Debean,
Yep - the list of names/addresses went INSIDE the box. So the only
way to get your name on the list now, is to determine WHO has the
box, and get on the list before it gets mailed away again.

I guess the easiest thing to do would be to request that people post
here when they receive the box. That way, it gives folks who are not
yet on the list an opportunity to email the current holder before
they mail it on.

I still have the master list on my computer at home, so if you're
starting a new postal box, I can email it to you (I assume that
anyone who'd want my box, would probably want yours)

Cheers! Check your letterbox soon, for a letterbox coming to you!!
:)

Autumn
(excited that there is more than one)
