Re: help a dying child -- READ ME

In article <WBE...@crucible.psr.com> wb...@psr.com (Winston Edmond) says:

I'm sure they'd love to move.  But who in their right mind would buy a house
that receives 50,000 unsolicited postcards a day?

(A better solution would be to petition their local post office to get a new
 number for their house.  Legitimate mail could go to the new address, and
 mail to the old address would be recognized by the post office as unwanted
 mail, and tossed before it ever got to them.  But, if UK postal workers are
 as boneheaded as US postal workers, they'd deliver the mail to the new
 address anyway.)
