I would be willing to spend upwards of $10 in stamps to send them a bunch of spam junk snail mail, since they were kind enough to give an actual street address! Anybody got any good ideas on a letter/sales pitch we could mail? I was thinking (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

Sorry, I guess this is a bit off-topic. That's me tending to use lugnet.general as the all-purpose place for any general chats with people I know from lugnet that don't fit in anywhere else.
