I give special attention to any handwritten mail for my route. I'm sorry to see that there is so little of it.

I think a handwritten note makes it more special than either a phone call or e-mail.

Also, I received a handwritten note from an internet penpal, and it seemed much more personal and "real" than internet correspondence.



These are my sentiments exactly.

If the Postal Service were run by competent people, they would run advertising that stressed this very point. To encourage people to use the mail. AT&T did this very thing during the years that it had a monopoly on long distance service. You have to advertise, simply to motivate people to do something that they will enjoy, and that will bring pleasure to someone else.

So, DARians, get out those fountain pens, and your best foolscap, and WRITE to someone, dammit.

That's an order.

General JF.
