Terry Lemmons practices NLP because he still hasn't quite got the hang of it.

All pleasant correspondence should be sent directly to:

Box 2533
Longmont CO, 80502
Email: alchemst@nlpinfo.com

All unpleasant correspondence should first be marked "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate" and have "FRAGILE" stamped in several places. Where you sent it after that is moot because it won't arrive in legible form anyway.

Anybody wanting something from me should avoid the middle-man and send directly to:

Santa Claus
c/o North Pole
Arctic Circle 000001
