Hello,
These 6th graders are interested in receiving email from around the
US and around the world. I looked at their website and it shows they
have had some response, but it hasn't been updated since winter-break
began. They are not attempting to map who forwarded the email to who.
(I once received an email that had been forwarded several hundred
times and arrived with all of the headers intact - it was fascinating
to see 'who knew who' and how the various interpersonal networks
linked to each other.)
cheers,
christopher
