   In case you're wondering, I'm the one who posted the message that I had a 
   copy of the 2-page Twin Peaks board game about a month ago.

   I received a message from someone who said the following:

   Maybe you've heard this already, but the U.S. Post Office
   will not allow me to purchase Canadian postage; hence I
   can't really send you a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
   How have others been handling this delimma?  I don't mean
   to cause a big deal when you're doing something so nice,
   so please let me know whatever I can do to help.

   Well, I don't know too much about the Postal Service, but here goes.

   This scenario seems to be sound to me:  on both envelopes, put whatever
   postage you would normally use for a letter.  Of course, because of the
   size (8.5 * 11), it might cost more, you'd have to check with the Post
   Office.  Of course, I live in Nova Scotia and the rules elsewhere might
   be different.  When in doubt, ask Mom.

No, the real solution is to purchase an international reply coupon at
the U.S. Post office.  Purchasers on this side will need to know how
much the item being mailed back weighs, so they will be able to
purchase the appropriate amount of postage.  I assume this get
exchanged at the Canadian P.O. for the appropriate amount in stamps,
but I've never been on the receiving end of one these coupons.
