Following today's posting regarding Craig Shergold, the boy who has been
trying to collect 'Get Well' postcards:

Craig Shergold and his mother appeared on national TV in the UK this
morning.  They said that he has received and opened 7.5 million cards,
and has about 2 million left to open.  The Guiness Book of Records will
close their count at the end of April, so they specifically say

   "Thank you, but please do not send any more cards"

It seems they will have a problem even opening/counting/disposing of the
existing backlog before the closing date.

Please repost this information to any other appropriate destination.
