Maybe it's just sour grapes on my part, not having
thought of it, but the whole thing leaves a rather
nasty taste in the mouth when you consider he is
obviously making a lot of money from his book and
the
syndication of the "POst Secret" idea to many
magazines? ( I know of one in the U.K) and the
anonymity of the participants allows him to claim
all
the credit.This is not really in the spirit of the
mail art network as I understand it.

Yeah, Michael, I felt a little bit that way also. But
I hadn't looked at the book very carefully.
I dunno that he is necessarily making "a lot" of money
off the book; if it hasn't made a bestsellers list it
doesn't necessarily make that much money. He might be
able to pay the rent with it for a while, but I doubt
he is getting rich. But then, I dunno.
