Sometimes it would be fun to surprise someone with a card or something.

But how to do that without asking that person for his/her name and address?

not that I know of

Well, if you can find someone who they are friends with here, you may be able to get their address from them...

probably if you were a world class stalker...or a teen-aged boy who can hack a computer, it would be easy-peasy.... for the rest of us mere mortals? Not so much...

You might try asking Shadow. I don't think she will give out addresses but if you participated in the Christmas she has your address.

I have had the same thought but haven't figured out a way. I usually have to ask which ruins the surprise. :thumbdown:

I agree. I am always PM'ing to get snail mail addresses and you know they have to suspect something.LOL. We'll hve to figure out something. BTW, anyone can ask me for mine and I will forget it as soon as I send it. LOl

You can to yellow book on line. I think there are other places just google- How to fine address. I do think they charge. So maybe a friend would be better.

A family friend from Ca. used bing. com to find my DM here in Ky. If you know first and last name it might work. I haven't tried it.

If you know their city, 411.com might be able to find them. That's one of the tools we learned in skip tracing when I was training to be a collector. (Didn't last as I guess I'm just too nice to be a collector)

I just ask around on the board :wink: Find a friend of theirs and ask, maybe give a small explanation .

I just wrote a longish answer and it got wiped.

Basically, list all the identifying info you have on the person, then use Google, pipl.com and the social networking websites to find out more.

Actually, I was just thinking about quiltingboard members - we all use nicknames.

Contact some of that persons friends and see if they can help you out :wink:

What about looking at their postings to see if they are participating in a swap? Then pm the swap coordinator for the address? Coordinator should know if person would be okay with that.

i have had this same question lol
I was debating on sending PMs to members i know that send out packages to others and ask.
