   (...) Thanks for volunteering Santosh! I'll definitely be joining but I'll do my money order separately, it'll cost me ~$5 for a local MO or bank cheque for Santosh so I may as well go straight for the US one myself. I haven't decided how much I'll (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

          Re: Formal Lugnet memberships from Aus... —Santosh Bhat
      (...) If you give an account name and number, is it possible to withdraw money out of that account? I hadn't thought so. Either way, I'll be going to the post office next week sometime (holidays yeah yeah!!) and doing the deal then sometime. If (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

     (...) Cash in the post is risky, an idea I was uncomfortable with even before a case just this last week where a worker in my local postoffice was charged and found guilty of stealing money and other things out of the mail. Are you comfortable (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
    
         Re: Formal Lugnet memberships from Aus... —Richard Parsons
     (...) I seem to recall learning a long long time ago that in Australia cash in the post is actually illegal. Now I remember this from so long ago that maybe what it really means is that its so silly that I interpreted it as illegal at the time..... (...)

         Re: Formal Lugnet memberships from Aus... —Peter White
     (...) This whole cash in the post thing was raging in the US posts recently. People were saying illegal/legal etc. Someone posted a link to the US Postal site, that verified it is legal. Anyway with legalities of this nature, it's the sort of thing (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

      Hi everyone, I don't know where this membership payment problem finished up but I can still get membership payments to Lugnet.

         Re: Formal Lugnet memberships from Aus... —Mark Harrison
     I've been getting US cash in the mail for four years now and haven't had one letter go missing. Just requires a bit of common sense in packaging and sticking to small bills in lots less than $200. Mark H. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.au)
