Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Not an e-mail, but a letter on paper with a stamp and sent via the postal service. I don't think I've written a letter on paper within the last 10 years. It's a shame...I guess.

I think I'll write to a couple of relatives tomorrow. If I can find some paper. And an envelope. And the post office.

5 years, as long as we don't count birthday cards.

A couple of "Get Well" cards in the past year. Not real letters though.

I typed a quick letter to a medical company the other week, concerning the sorry state of my insurance company, and their lack of desire to pay the medical company for what they were rightfully owed under the terms of my insurance plan. The last time I hand-wrote a letter was fan mail to Kurt Vonnegut back in 1999. He didn't answer.

I really don't remember. I was never much of a letter writer even before the interwebs. I had huge phone bills.

Last week and did it on style, a nice papyrus-like envelope and expensive Garda Cartiere (italian) paper.

On Wednesday. Wasn’t hand-written, but it was in an envelope with a stamp and stuff. Actually, it was just a cover letter for sending out a death certificate. But still a letter.

Last time I’ve sent out a ‘real’ letter from myself, rather than from work, is about six months ago: my application for the IT University.

I can't remember. And I am a little disappointed by that. Either my memory is failing or I am losing the personal touch that a letter emits.

A few months ago. My printer was defect.

All the time for business purposes, almost never in my personal life.

15 years ago?

Even then, it was printed on a dot matrix. I can't even read my handwriting, so I don't expect other people to be able to.

Yesterday. I have older friends, 70+ years old, who prefer getting physical mail.

It's wonderful, really. I love getting snail mail correspondence, more care seems to go into it.

They weren't satisfied with the quality of their state parks?

I sent several of my friends handwritten cards on Valentine's Day. Before that, I can't remember.

Ah! Thanks for triggering my memory. It is my memory going bad.

I wrote my Great-Aunt a hand-written letter just before Christmas. She replied with an email.

I can't remember when I last wrote a letter.

I'm with Doofy on this one... my handwriting has gotten so poor I can hardly read it myself.

Thursday.

What YEAR ?

Once every few months. Most of the time its just random stuff. The last one I got was my friend trying to prove a correlation between the size of a person's chin and whether or not that person makes a good leader. Its almost always random crap. I refuted from the office of beards (i.e. return address) that it is in fact beards that make a good leader, and therefore this study of chins is in violation of beard code 26893-D. And that all studies should cease immediately pending "bad stuff." Uhmm. lets see, another was a Ray Johnson inspired "Moticos" letter to my friend Melany.

It's just more flattering to see that a person went through the trouble to mail something to you. Even if it's only like 42¢ It's garaunteed to bring a smile anyway.

Facebook is so... blah.

I write to my grandmother pretty regularly. She's deaf (as in since birth) and I really don't like calling her through the relay system.

I never was much of a letter writer before the internet and now with email I basically never write letters anymore. It's been several years since my last paper letter.
