    I have a question about how I should write ordinary mail addresses. Basically I don´t know when to use 'c/o' and when to use 'Attn' when I write to a specific person in an organisation. As I understand it 'c/o' is only used when a specific person in the organisation should forward the letter to someone not generally known by the organisation itself? It's a bit embarrasing to have to ask about something that basic, but at least it's not a programming question... Thanks # moliate


    The corners of my eyes catch hasty, bloodless motion - a mouse? Well, certainly a peripheral of some kind.

      Attn: to direct the message to a specific person/position c/o (care of) to ask a specific person to deliver (forward) to another Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

                Not recently, but glad to see he's got another book coming out this fall. Not the best writer around, but very creative and fun to read. BW
