Dear Bodie and company,
A letter writing thread sounds fantastic! It would be cool to read each person's correspondence. If you, Bodie, start the thread, it cannot fail. I will make sure of that. If push comes to shove (which I highly doubt it will) I can recruit letter-writers, and letter-whores to make sure it reaches a good 10 pages. By that point it may have enough momentum and "presence" to never die...after all, letter writing is a bit of a novelty. People will be attracted to it for it's unique, antique edginess.
It may even extend popularity to other forums. One day you could find a wiki page about "Letter Threading", and it may mention the bold user "Bodie" who started the trend. We could even call it "Bodie Threading". You might instantly be launched into internet meme-dom! Do not fear failure my dear friend, I am sure with Semicolon Ninja as your guard, Sg1008 as your whore, Odeon as your standard, and Jack as your minute(wo)man, you will succeed.
With the highest regard for your competence,
SG1008
