----------------------------Original message---------------------------- As a practical matter, traditional mailing addresses ("snail mail") should be included when people have questions. I am no longer sitting on the Map Collection, but do print out and give to Rich Boardman those items I think he would find interesting and those questions I think he might answer. He at this time does not have e-mail and can't respond to those questions his resources might answer without a mailing address. I don't think this situation is all that unique and even when the e-mail is there, there are times when photocopies serve better. J. B. Post
