Thanks for doing all this Type40. We're all enjoying it.

We're all enjoying it.

Thank you. I wonder sometimes but am using the view count to see the interaction.
I am also open to suggestions on what sort of information you all would like to see. If the data can do it I will give it a go.

In case any were wondering, each post with a single or multiple are grouped like that because they arrived together on the same day.

I guess my first slip isn't going to make it back.

I haven't done a count yet but don't give up yet, they are still arriving.

Ooo......most travelled slip and now on the most connected list!!
When you write 36 letters for InCoWriMo I suppose that does happen....

[Lady Onogaro]

This is a fascinating experiment! Have they all come in yet?

[Type40]

Not yet, there are still a lot in the post somewhere.
117 made, 27 returned so far.

I am posting all that I receive.

[inlovewithjournals]

I have a confession to make...further back in this thread I indicated I would send one to you in early February and much to my horror I somehow forgot about it and discovered it in mid-March as I was making my way through my reply pile! So my face will be red when you post it but as soon as I realized my oversight I sent it back to you, Type40. Sorry!!

[Type40]

No worries. I think we all have discovered things hiding in our reply to pile (or even something incorrectly placed in the replied pile, oops) that we were sure had been taken care of already.

[alc3261]

I'm surprised at how few have come back so far.

[Type40]

I see it as, how many are still on there way to/from somewhere. The world's postal system is a rather big system (we are all part of it as well).
