Yes! This is a much better idea! Thanks, I had been looking for
penpals for her, but it was way too complicated.

Who is that idiot that posted about burying T-Shirts?

You would have to research archives for this list to get the full sense
of sarcasm.

Planting T-shirts is brilliant! There are so many possibilities.
There's actually a Yahoo group devoted to this amazing hobby.

Sarcasm, indeed!

And what's with the warm and fuzzies calling people idiots? Is that
now only allowed if you're a newbie and all of the silverbacks have
been pushed aside for this thing they now call letterboxing?

Indeed! Where is Lady Prisspot when you need her? Off playing with
bunnies? Oh my!

Alexandra - Several years ago I saw a website that was something like
"postcards or recipes for my mother." I took a quick look and couldn't find
it. The author asked reader to send his mother a postcard or note with a
recipe in it, as if they were old friends just dropping her note. She got
quite a lot of mail some in foreign languages with no explanations. When I
saw it, it had been going on successfully for some months.
