- Hi Everybody.
-
- I posted a penpal-request here two days ago, re a penpal from far
- away, at least not the "5th floor of Dunton Tower, Carleton
- University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada". (It mentioned that I am
- chronologically 20 and biologically female. Everybody seems to have
- taken up on these points.) Thank you to all who responded. I now
- never suffer for lack of new mail. But I must apologize for not being
- able to respond to all of you in person, and I would appreciate it if
- no more people sent me mail. (Yes you are all fascinating people; it
- was first-come-first-served. I regret having deleted the extra dozens
- of messages. But I am very busy with the rest of my life.)
-
- BTW, the group may be interested to know that it does work, to post a
- request for a penpal, not a romance or anything else, just an
- intellectual and social exchange. It is also helpful to put a lot of
- information about yourself in an original post, so that people can
- tell if you will be interesting. Likewise, those who respond should
- talk a lot about themselves in their first message. I must admit that
- people who responded to my message with little or no information about
- themselves did not get a response because they did not pique my
- interest, right away.
-
- Thanks to all, even if I didn't get to say it in person.
