Apology to our overseas members

In the offer of surplus seeds, I specified that it was for USA members
only. I'm sorry, but the reason is that it takes a long time to do the
documentation, because the US now requires a long customs form with lots
of useless details that don't fit in the spaces on the form! The Post
Office no longer provides an option for doing this online for first
class, and we are not going to spend $35 per envelope to send overseas
priority mail of a few seeds. Or bill you for it. I just hand-wrote all
the overseas orders from the initial offering, and I have writer's cramp
from the triplicate forms. Nobody will ever look at them, I suppose. If
you ordered only a very few seeds (like 1 or 2 packets) I will mail them
to you personally in a Christmas card.

When the regular BX resumes with a new manager (I'm just a volunteer who
stepped in), he or she should be able to use a mailing system that
allows more efficient processing.
