Fair bit that I know practically nothing about on this list, but I like it. If I might minutely introduce myself, I believe I have a confrerity with mailart in that upon adulthood and writing and making things the notion of mailing things anywhere always had some unexplainable madness about it; even paying bills, who can resist illustrating cheques, envelopes, the invoice, or filling out a tax return how not become intensely selective about transcribing the figures into the boxes, how not exalt in the liberty to add to the margin space? Letter to friends, contributors copies of magazines, "submissions" of poems, how not become obsessive with the envelope, nor stuff photos of nothing and outdated coupons into the mailing? Most extreme: soaked a letter to a friend in bacon grease over night so it was transparent. (He reported years later it had made a number of nearby items also transparent.) Around 94 or 95, an underground mail art collective i think in fact from belgium mailed me beautiful bizarre things requesting work for a european exchange network that i was told i was would never hear back from, on the subject of art and illegality. I sent it and have wondered for years what became of it, if anything. (Maybe it wasn't illegal enough ? It wasn't all that illegal, just odd.
Anyway I'm glad to be added to this, and appreciate the moments of oblique friendliness from far away. Any of you who know how the past of the listgroup would be greatly thought of were you to recall great moments from ma-network when exchanges were at their best and reopen those threads of discussion with a new reply that left some of the previous exchanges on the topic in place. (I belong to other listgroups and this is always a good thing to do.)
