FWIW, I would have used "losing all its energy" rather than "dying" in the thread title.

But if we get back to the WPPD. Is there something that we collectively can do to bring new people?
Any ideas?
When people sign up for a WPPD print exchange and do not send prints to the other participants who did send prints, follow through with some gruesome punishment such as making them set through many hours of unrelated family vacation and holiday slide shows without bathroom privileges.
the return rates for pinhole photo swaps is disappointing.
When it came up, I called the post office to check the postage fees for a single 4x6 postcard.
Canada: 1.23$
USA: 1.50$
International: 3.12$

Now I'm "curious" - which website address gives the incorrect info?I just checked the website and in the Montreal area, these are the numbers it gives me today for all letters under 30 grams.
And that's not counting the 7% GST and the 9.975% provincial sales tax which I had totally forgotten about.
I just discovered something very Canada Post though... the prices in the calculator and the stamp price web page don't match!
But Still, at 1.30$ for the US and 2.71$ for International, it's still not exactly cheap, especially when compared to the USPS rates.
I must say that I honestly don't know. I thought that the calculator page was the right one, but then you pointed me to the stamp prices page and it completely puzzled me. I did the calculation and the higher rates don't seem to include the taxes as the rate it gives me has nothing to do with the regular mail rate + either the GST or PST or both.Okay
Now I'm "curious" - which website address gives the incorrect info?
And in addition, do you have to pay PST on mailing letters? We don't. Is there any chance that those higher rates have the taxes included?
I couldn't tell as I haven't had a Costco card in a few years. But they probably have the same price as Staples since it's a regulated product.
Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day has never organized a print exchange.
That said, the return rates for pinhole photo swaps is disappointing. This year I received a card from 50% of the folks I sent a card to (which was the entire list). Last year it was 64%. I'm not sure what can be done about it. I understand a little bit, to be honest; I think I missed sending cards one year when life piled up much more than anticipated. The best thing to do is send out cards with no expectations, and enjoy every one that does come back.
I too love receiving cards in return. but these days the money is tight, so I have to make every penny count.I don't care about the expense of sending the cards. Getting the many cards in return is worth it. I like seeing what other people make.
