IN light of my other thread where I have asked repeatedly for letters from other SeeD members, an idea sparked in my head (With much help/theft from Phieta).

Before I begin, though, I would need to verify something. I know not everyone is as keen as throwing their address out like I am. My reasons is because my home is constantly accessed by thousands of people every year. If a problem were to arise, it can be handled.

But, given the promise that all information would be held confidential, I am considering starting a SeeD chain letter. I will find some random (Active) member and mail them a large postcard. They will sign their name or screenname (Either works. Just make sure it's you.) and find another member to forward it to in the mail. Once a certain number of people have signed, it will be sent back to me (Or whoever wishes to claim it) and they do whatever with it.

But before I'd think about doing this more than I already have, how many people would be willing to do this?

Well it's an awesome idea, I'm not entirely sure whether I'd take part or not though. I'll think on it.

If we wanted to make it work with all the Aussies, I could send one to Rat and he could have everyone sign it without mailing it to them, and send it to the next person.

No, sorry. My parents are even more paranoid than I am (and I wouldn't be keen on the idea, regardless).

I know this probably doesn't need to be said, but everyone NEEDS consent from the recipient before sending anything to him/her. Some people actually value their privacy, and some may want to only know people on CurvedSpace on CurvedSpace, so everyone needs to respect that. Ask first. Don't make an assumption, because it could get others in trouble even if it's entirely harmless.

Also, I know that there are some groups here who are friends in reality, who invited each other to CurvedSpace in reality, and have known each other before knowing of our site. If this applies to you, do your friends a favor and don't tell anyone their personal information. If a friend on CurvedSpace wants to send something to your friend in reality, just say that you won't answer for him/her.



I need to emphasize this because some have no problem with it, while others will want nothing to do with it. Just respect that. If someone refuses to receive something from you, that's not an unfriendly response and shouldn't be taken as one.

Nicely done...


(keep my info between us Res, if you would please).......or else!!!! grinning-smiley-048.gif

I wouldnt mind being a part of the letter exchange, as long as i either send it to res or res sends it to me.
For the sake of not expanding my personal info.

So under some circumstances, if this notion takes flight.....

...I'm Game (thats a pun for my 1337 acrade skills!!) yltype.gif

My mom is paranoid.
'nuff said.


(I could probably <b>send</b> someone something without her knowing though.)



But... I'd be willing to participate in about 385 days from now.

Of course, Cspace. And of course, Silvertwist. I'm under no liberty and have no right to disclose any information I receive about others to anyone else. If I get a letter, I'm going to keep that address locked away in a safe I have. (Seriously. I have a safe just for these things.)

Sure, I throw my information around left and right, but at the same time that doesn't mean I don't understand the precautions, measures, and severity of keeping others' information private.

At the same time, I fully understand anyones choice to remain unrelated to this thing. This isn't a life altering 'event', if you will. Just a fun little activity I want to try. There's really no problem with declining, and that's the reason I started this thread in the first place. If you can't/don't want to, don't sweat it at all. thumb.gif Not like I'm going to hold it against you in the least.

Right now, I'm compiling a list of people who have said they're definitely in, and those that have given me a 'maybe'. Those who decline or reject, I don't worry about.

Believe me when I say I know the problems that arise with mislaid information. I'm not going to be one to mess with that.
