The guy in the room next to me at university came from Torino (Riccardo Ferraro, I swear it really was his name). He told me it wasn't worth writing home. The post was apparently so bad that he said it was quicker to hitch-hike home via Moscow than send a letter. He said that it wasn't really a postal service, more that someone would drop your letter off if they happened to be going that way. He was also an incredible wind-up-merchant so he could have been exaggerating, lying or both. I've been lucky with the post so far. I had a meteorite which didn't want to come to me and made it's way back to Michael Cottingham. He takes no prisoners though and it found my remote little island at the second attempt. And I recently had to wait nearly 4 months for a book (Robert Haag's Collection of meteorites) which had many, many post marks on it and was not in pristine condition after it's trek. But so far, nothing actually lost. Rob McC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
