Ok, maybe I was a little heated when I posted my reply to Doug. Hey Doug no offense man. But if ya'll note many of the other heated discussions here on the CB have involved Postage issues. So, here I come along with an idea that, in my unforsightedness (is that even a word?), I think is great. But what does it get shot down for? POSTAGE! Aaaaargh! Yeah, I got mad and hit send before I thought it through.

But now that I've calmed down and read all the replies, and had 3 chunky monkey's, the drink, not the ice cream. I've decided to make a big change:

I will maintain a box at my residence. If you wish to contribute send your envelopes/packages to me at;

Mike Pellerin
68 Brooks St.
Worcester, MA 01606

Try to package your envelopes/packages in the smallest, yet most secure method you can. Also mark the envelope/package with a prominent TMB in sharpie marker. The items will not be opened, and the whole package will be dropped in The Mystery Box. I will inspect the packaging to make sure that there are no tears or tampering.

I will also begin accepting items at any time. As for accountability, I will maintain a list of folks who sent envelopes/packages to be included. You will be able to request this list at any time, and I will post periodically to the CB the list of contributors.

As for postage...Hmmm...yeah this one might get a bit heavy for me to mail, so I guess I just may have to fly it out there myself and present it for auction. Besides, it gives me a good excuse to attend my 1st convention!

Well, hope I didn't offend anybody too much. And I hope ya'll will try and participate. Sorry if I get too gruff at times.
