I also love writing and receiving real letters, and like you, I found my first penpal when I was about 10. She was in England and we wrote for a number of years, but it just tapered off. But my second penpal at the same age, lives in another Australian state, and we have stayed friends all these years, and met up several Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032008.post-76623094369171706422012-02-04T15:47:56.813-07:002012-02-04T15:47:56.813-07:00I think you've hit the nail on the head - decl...I think you've hit the nail on the head - declining revenue makes the cost go up, which makes fewer bits of mail go out.
