PV: go ahead and start playing at east chicago.

D-M: send me a check for the team BR you have.

+24: send rick all the team cash you have right now. if you are comfortable sending a check, then do so; if not, then send 1300 cash via registered mail. keep the other nine dollars to cover the cost of sending via registered mail.

Rick: send me a check for whatever team cash you have after receiving money from dan (either 213 or 222 depending on how dan sends it).

Instead of cash, why not Postal Money Orders?

I would consider PMOs to be a LOT safer, especially if they were purchased and mailed in separate envelopes, say $433 x 3. That should cost less than registered mail, too.

IMHO, sending cash in such small amounts should never be necessary.

I speak as one who was apparently put under surveillance by the Post Assholes after some dumbfuck mailed me a heavy, ummm, "questionable item" in a paper envelope -- for over a year after that, all of my mail arrived with notches cut out of the envelopes. (The PO claimed it was just a "machinery problem" that happened occasionally, only to personal mail but never on monthly bill notices or advertising mailings. Packages usually arrived with one end "accidentally stepped on" to conveniently open them enough to see inside. . . .)

subversives get added scrutiny

sorry about that. Yesterday I sent a money order for a few hundred dollars, and the cost was 50 cents. It was not a postal, it was from a currency exchange, but the same principle. I think the cost was 50 cents regardless of the amount. PV
