Excellent points made here & I like the idea about putting OT in the subject line. I sent a book off to Tehran, Iran yesterday and am feeling good about that. I consider it my good deed for the day. I had kept the person's email in the book I sent for over a year.....knowing that I probably wouldn't read it EVER, I just emailed them and asked if they still want it. I hope it brings pleasure to him/her. I have been blessed by finding some wonderful bcers and my experience has been positive all the way! LInda/CT
