NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO! PLEASE DON'T START THIS *AGAIN*! Craig requested this over a year ago. Within a matter of *weeks*, the goal was made. Last spring (april, I think) it started up again. One netter collected over a half-dozen addresses to send to Craig. Another took the effort to calculate the cost to the net for all of this. Craig does not need any more cards. His parents have requested that this stop. The hospital has requested this stop. The Make-a-wish foundation has requested this stop. Please do NOT spread this any more, and tell the people you got it from to do the same. No more good will is being recieved. Guiness has closed the get-well-card category to prevent this sort of thing from happening again in the future. Craig does not get the cards anymore. The hospital was forced to hire extra people just to open all the mail that they recieved. By sending more cards all you are doing is costing people money. Please, folks, let's nip this in the bud before all of net gets swamped.
