more about this site in the form of “frequently asked questions”…

who created this site?

my name is sinoun and you can find all my projects here. i’ve been active in the snail mail community for many years and i have great fun sending and receiving mail. i live in atlanta, georgia and i love to eat, sleep, and play.

what is the purpose of this site?

the purpose of this simple site is to provide a resource of sending and receiving random mail for people all over this world. the purpose is to encourage the growth of the creative snail mail community. the purpose is to have fun!

how do i join?

joining is as simple as searching the site and finding as little or as many people you would like to send mail to. joining is as simple as filling out a little form that will add you to this list so you can possibly receive mail as well. that’s it!

why are there big ass numbers next to each post?

those numbers are dates. since i am using wordpress, the site is in a form of a blog so every time there is a new post/submission, a date will be stamped with it. this works out pretty well because it keeps everything organized. the order of the long list of participants doesn’t really matter anyway, but it is possible that the ordering could change in the future.

what if i’m really interested in participating, but i’m not comfortable putting my address on the world wide web?

that is completely understandable. if that is the case, i suggest you look into getting a post office box. getting one usually isn’t very expensive and is worth it in my opinion. i’ve had one for years and it has been useful not just for anatomic air press and sending out mail, but for my personal life as well! it is reliable and there is more security.

what do i send to people, what should i expect to receive, and what if i don’t get a response from someone i send mail out to?

what you send to people is up to you! be creative and don’t be an asshole. write a letter or a postcard. send a mix cd. read each individual profile and i’m sure you’ll come up something. the possibilities are endless. keep in mind that i can not guarantee that you will receive something, even if you send someone something, don’t automatically assume you’ll get something in return. although it is likely that you will get a response, it doesn’t always happen. random mail without getting something in return is a part of mail art sometimes. it really depends on the relationship you build with the other individual. anatomic air press (me, sinoun) is not responsible for what you receive. please do not give us information that you do not want to share with the public.

who do i contact if i want to change/delete my profile or have questions/comments?

this site is all run by one person: me. you can contact me through e-mail at nuonis[at]gmail.com or by writing: sinoun, p.o. box 1602, decatur, ga 30031 USA. if you need to update your contact info, you can go here and fill out the form… remember to check the box to let me know you’re updating your post.

what is the future of postal traffic?

this site is growing everyday and i hope it continues to grow. i would love for postal traffic to play a huge role in the snail mail community by becoming a great and fun resource. as far as the website goes, i’ll continue to do my best to make it as user friendly and aesthetically pleasing as possible.

i love this site. what can i do to support it?
