I'm new here, what now? What should I do? I wrote a note to the only guy on the "doesn't" get any mail list, now what?

Welcome to WAP. Glad you wrote someone, do you know why you wish friendship? Writing is an adventure for me to find out about other people, support by sending mail those that seem to be ignored by society, and to find those that want quality mail (my statistics for that are about 1 in 20 tries). Depending on where you are, where they are, their stamp supply, about 2 weeks perhaps for first reply. I do not always wait for a reply back somethimes I will share current events and say I hope they enjoyed my introduction letter. Hope that helps.
