h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's about time that a good, solid, upstanding citizen(?) has deemed it necessary to discuss the fine art of mail. As one who actually makes the stuff, I can most assuredly confirm that it is not something that you want to start unless you have a whole mess of free time, because it gets very addictive. But, boy howdy (pardon the Americanese) the feeling of satisfaction and the looks of all of those innocent bystanders who, well, stand by and watch makes it all worthwhile. It's also a good way to meet girls . If you can stand the thought of future arthritis and possible repetitive stress injury, I would most wholeheartedly suggest taking up the hobby. It is also relatively cheap, as everything that you need, to begin with, at least, can come from a simple hardware or farming supply store. My functional, if spartan, setup cost me less than $20 American full stop, including a fair bit of wire. In all, though, have fun and be creative.
