... I only got four postcards back in return from the eight that I sent out and for most of them I don't know if they all arrived as most people don't seem to say one way or the other and it would be great ...
Sign up now, don't be late!
You may get surprised. Sometimes, they keep straggling in for a long time.Okay, it was a bit expensive for just sending postcards abroad and I only got four postcards back in return from the eight that I sent out and for most of them I don't know if they all arrived as most people don't seem to say one way or the other and it would be great to have one place where all of them could be viewed... phew, all in one breath!
But despite all of this, put me down for SIX again as I loved the four postcards that I did get.

It'll be nice to have you back with us-I always look forward to getting your cardsI'm a long-time participant of this exchange (25 rounds or more I think) who had to sit round 40 out because I'm still delinquent on round 39, but I can say that the fewer cards you choose to send in any round means you are much more vulnerable to the late (or fallen off the map) senders. I might get 45/50 cards in one round (which I would consider a success, as I've NEVER had a 100% return rate), but if you only had 6, and you happened to have the 5 of those people who didn't send cards, it won't seem like a successful round to you. That said, it's much better to send fewer cards, than none at all.
Oh, and +1 to what Matt said. Sometimes cards come in months (or even years) after the fact.
Anyway, I'm not signing up yet, but I hope (finally!!!!) to have my cards done this week so I can, because I miss the exchange a lot.

I cannot speak for Terry S, but IMHO maybe the thing is more about the doubts whether the postcards sent arrive at destiny or not, than on the ones we have to receive, at least that's the feeling I wanted to express, if I have to choose, I prefer not to receive any postcard, but knowing that all mine do, clear conscience I suppose.

Actually LAG, I meant to address that too. Like you, I like to hear that my cards got to their final destinations - otherwise I'm not sure if they actually got there...
If it makes you feel any better, the Round #40 card I sent to myself didn't even arrive! I've done that for the last several rounds, but this is the first time it hasn't got back to me.
Wow.If it makes you feel any better, the Round #40 card I sent to myself didn't even arrive! I've done that for the last several rounds, but this is the first time it hasn't got back to me.
