    Hi all
    Isn't sending cash through the post so 20th century? A number of competitions are now accepting payment through PayPal. which is so much simpler: for the (non-American) poet, no trip to town to queue up at the foreign exchange desk; for you, a paper trail instead of a desk full of fluttering greenbacks!
