	Well, as fellow readers of alt.folklore.urban know, Craig no
longer wants postcards.  Do NOT mail him a card, do NOT pass this
message around.
	Since the original request went out, Craig has received more
than 12 million cards and permanetly earned his place in Guiness.
He and his family have grown quite sick of receiving cards and have
asked for people to not send any more.  Unfortunately they still
arrive in bagloads each week, due to the persistence of the story
and the chords it hits in the human (or at least American) psyche.
	BTW, Craig is alive and doing better though the tumor 
is still inoperable.
