I'd like to play!  Whoever posts next will probably get a typed letter from Idaho, though. I have fallen in love with Google speech to text.

Is it possible that no one has posted here for months?  Is it possible that no one writes handwritten letters anymore?  I'll write one.  But not sure who I write to.  Possibly Rolf Ollson?  Or is it Nicole Alderman?  I don't quite have the hang of this forum yet.
[Edit]  I think it's Not Rolf or Nicole, but Burl.

OK, I can do that, soon as he sends me an address (I've already Mooseaged him).  And I'm supposed to Mooseage you with my address, right?

Being verbose and sesquipedalian, I love to read and write letters (have been writing a weekly-ish letter to my beloved grandmother since 1998), so count me in on this scheme, if it's still going on!

It could be made to go again - I'm not sure how it works though. Who sends the letter? How do they get an address to send to? All that kind of stuff.

Someone volunteers (originally R, who started the thread) to send the first letter to the next person to post.
Every person to post (and to receive a letter) will then promise to send a letter to the next person that posts.
Addresses should be sent via PM.

Who is the last person in the thread that actually got a letter? That would be the person to send one to the next poster after that person.
But maybe it needs a new start...

Yes, you’re right! You will write to the next person who posts saying they want a letter.

I'm a big fan of letter-writing. Did this a few years ago, and it was fun to reach out. Thanks for reviving this thread, y'all...!

Happy to write and send one to the next respondent who requests it.

Benjamin, I'll send you my postal address via PM.

So I should PM you for your addy?

Edited to add: Or does the letter transaction only happen if someone specifically says "I am sending a letter to the next person that posts"?

Oh and I just now remembered that there are a bunch of countries that won't send mail to the US anymore, so that needs to be kept in mind.

Lif, you’re going to be getting one from Stephen.
And yes, it would be easier if you would say something like: Stephen (last poster), I want a letter.
And then you’ll send one to the next poster.
