It occured to me the other day that bloggers need some sort of a mailing service.
There have been times when I'd really like to send someone a card "just because" or for a birthday or a get well thing. Or I'll see some silly little thing in the store and think it would be perfect for this blogger, or that one. Now I can't very well e-mail them and ask for their address. That would give away the whole surprise of a "just because" note! And we can't really go around leaving our addresses on our blogs. That's just asking for trouble.
So I'm thinking we need some sort of a re-mailer service.
A trusted someone sets up a PO Box and has that address available for whomever wants it. Bloggers register their addresses with that person. Then if blogger Joe wants to send something to blogger Pete he can send it to the PO Box and the person there turns around and mails it to Pete. Maybe include something like 50 cents or a dollar or do it through a Paypal account to cover mailing costs.
So someone get on that ok?

I have a PO Box, and pointed my domain records to that. So if you did a whois on my domain, you would have a valid address to use to reach me. Earlier today I decided that I should also share that PO box address on my blog, just because I love getting real mail!

See now that's a good idea! I hadn't thought of that.
