- Not whenever, but I will suggest that the place for this posting is
- certainly not "alt.sources". I would direct you to the group news.
- announce.newusers for more such pointers.

- I am not flaming you for your post, but I would reiterate that you

-
- The newsgroup alt.folklore.urban has devoted much time and energy to
- the discussion of Craig Shergold. The appeal for postcards for him
- went out several years ago. Since then he has collected (as other
- have pointed out) far above what he needed to make a Guiness record.
- In fact, the volume was so overwhelming that Craig and his family are
- asking people *NOT* to send any more cards, and the Guiness Book of
- Records has refused to accept any more such records because of the way
- they can fly out of control like this.
-
- The upshot of this post: *DON'T* send even *one* postcard! Read
- news.annouce.newusers and alt.folklore.urban for more information.
