hi sol, what i am thinking of is a small address book that can fit in your shirt pocket so that if you are traveling you are able to send postcards, etc. if you wished and it wouldn't take up too much space on your already crowded desks. i appreciate the privacy issue and it might be best not to put it on line unless you know how it could be accessed by members and retain its privacy. do you have any references to ken's list, it would be fun to see it. for sure i know this is not an original idea to fluxus as whatever we seem to be able to think of has been done earlier but alot of people have left and joined the list since then. all the addresses i sent to the list were obtained from posts sent to all. those sent to me off line will not be sent to the list but only in the little book. also this reflects my own increased interest in mail art.
