Default Harry potter and statistics

Hello,

I got an email from someone concerned about getting only a couple back
for every 10 they send and they wanted to know a sure fire way to get
addresses guaranteed. There are none! Espeically today I was mad
because there was liek the 20th Harry potter report of someone getting
an autograph and I never did..... so I added my list up of whom I sent
to and who I got... here's the list of who I have not gotten

Robert Hardy
Rupert Grint
Chris Rankin
Leslie Phillips
John Cleese
Alan Howard
Will Theakston
Luke Youngblood
Robbie Coltrane
Verne Troyer (and he's got my check too)
Maggie Smith
Miriam Margoyles
Bonnie Wright
Ian Hart
Emily Dale
Christian Coulson
Michael Gambdon
Richard Bremmer
Geraldine Somerville
Nina Young
Elizabeth Spriggs
Veronica Clifford
Warwick Davis-resend; have a SW image and wanted a Potter one
Daisy Bates
Tony Christian
Martin Bayfield
Rik Mayall
Gemma Padley
Daniel Radcliffe
Les Bubb-... promised to sign and didn't.
Timothy Spall
Gary Oldman
David Thewlis
Pam Ferris
Paul Whitehouse
Julie Christie
Lee Ingleby
Alfie Enoch
Sarah Bennett...she's ignored me since Star Wars times....

This doesn't include people like Emma Watson, Isaacs and Rickman who
sent form letter saying "too busy for autographs" These are just ones
NEVER returned that I put UK postage on.... as you can see, in a few
months, probably close to 100.00 in wasted postage and probably
another 50.00 in ink and paper easily. ! How many successes did I
receive? Not inlcuding trades or purchases:

33 through the mail success. I believe those unreturned add up to 38
so a success rate of less than 50%. If you include Watson, Isaacs and
Rickman, that's 41 failures. I had two RTS's but tried other
addresses that ended up working. Bought: 2 actually 4 but one didn't
come yet and another was an additional to one I got ttm. Trades: 7 and
ones that were Star Wars related but were in Potter too.... I only
have them ttm from SW requests: 5 But 41 requests with

So that's not the greatest odds. Everyone should know success isn't
guaranteed and you have to live with it. But in the meantime, if any
of you collect Potter and wanna trade, let me know. I'd be interested
in any of the ones who wasted my postage!


Anyone else have a success rate to share? I'd be interested to know if
this is about right or on the good/bad side.

Heheh; we don't even want to go near the star wars ones...I have
probably a thousand letters unanswered!
