(It is practically the same though cause there is no rule saying you can't request to be in several of the groups :o )
I voted for number 2....I don't send cards to receive cards anymore than I give gifts in order to receive them. And I understand the expense issue.
In addition to the suggestion Debbie made....Postcards...which is what Christmas cards were originally....only cost .26 to mail. That's an .11 savings each!
I chose option 4 because I'm broke at the moment .. if things changed I would choose option 1
Postcards!! Never thought of that .. what a great idea ...
I voted for the first choice, I think it's the most fair choice. However I think I'll do what I did last year and just ask a few people for their address because I can't afford to send it to everyone so it wouldn't be right for me to sign up if I can't send to everyone.

/s/ Phred
Or how about someone else just creates and e-mail list.
*edited to add*
The thing about recieving more cards, than just 10-20 or whatever. That's the most fun, recieving cards from different people, especially when they personailze them and so on. It makes Christmas MUCH more enjoyable.
I think someone else should do the email list. Aly has enough to do. And I do think they should be separate.
Aly and I are going to be working on the snail mail list. Perhaps someone who is interested in the email list should organize that one?
I voted for #4, after reading 4 pages of debate. I think #4 is fair, and a good way to be sure that EVERYONE can participate and no one gets left out. I think getting getting 10 or 20 cards is better than not being able to participate at all. Not everyone can afford to buy and mail cards for 60+ people, as much as they would want to.
regarding the email swap..
Last year there was NO email swap, because the year before that viruses were sent along. A lot of those free card sites have spyware and popups. An email swap might not be safe.
edited to add..
It is EXTREMELY hard work on the organisers to have to do BOTH lists. I'm glad Aly and Micki are declining to do the email list.
A small picture of their pets and possibly a little sentance or two is all that's really needed for e-mail cards. :) They don't have to be some animated e-card site's cards.
