Good question. akkartik and I have access. It's the email we use for support and feedback issues. No one else does.

It makes me wonder if you could create a service that rerouted physical mail. You give your address to a trusted handler, then sensitive shipping for you mail is sent to the handller's address, including a code (perhaps just a unique name) that tells the handler to readdress it to your own. The handler could keep the code/address list encrypted and stored in another juristiction, only accessing it as packages came in.

This must exist.

Most people get around this issue by just getting a PO Box at a Mail/UPS/Fedex store. I'm sure there is some third party service that has a sort of "virtual" PO Box somewhere like you described too. It has to exist.

Sure. I guess I'm just thinking of those worried about giving their info to a PO Box provider. Not that the handler I imagine would necessarily be more secure.

Thanks for the stickers! Just got them today and they are really slick looking, huge orange fan so these are right up my alley! Plus, no one has showed up to murder me yet and harvest my organs! Double plus good!

Thanks again MK & Friends.

Sure thing!

You haven't matched as a donor yet.

I've heard this joked about before, but is there an actual channel for donations or a donation button hidden somewhere? Or is this just a joke that gets passed around? Is there a "Send MK delicious craft beer from Minnesota" form I can fill out?

Yes, you can send all beer donations to me, and I'll make sure to personally describe to mk exactly how it tasted.
