    Don't worry about it man. Knowing what your chain is, I am not surprised they won't pay to send it. Mine won't either.

    Rusty: Don't worry about it, at all. We can all appreciate the frugal attitudes of bigwigs -- I believe it's a job requirement for them, in fact.

    Sneak two or three in the mail each day for a week. You'll avoid a lot of suspicion that way.

    And put a name on the return address, just the paper's name.

    That way when the publisher sees outgoing mail addressed to another newspaper, he won't think you are applying for a job there.

    But wicked is right, don't ask for permission to send them. And if the publisher questions it later, just say well, I was trying to improve the section with an exchange of ideas.


    Seriously tho, any publisher that can't pay a few bucks for postage is stupid. Sounds like the one paper I worked at that wouldn't pay for a monthly Internet charge for photogs to send photos back, because there would be a couple months that it didn't get used.

    OK. I have sent PM's to colton, angola, calvin hobbes, sconnie, shotglass, scribe4sports, dragonzo and I'll never tell.
    Just send back addresses and I will put them in the mail.
    I can't wait to see some of the other ideas out there.

    Just sent three more out today.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone else's ideas and concepts.

    Calvin Hobbes' effort is outstanding, as usual...
