A member asked:
I have a friend who i got hooked on the hobbie of penpaling and when she gets a cold she stops writing her letters for a while... is that a good idea?

Voluntary: If there is a compulsion or mandate, then it is not a hobby (--as in something done to relieve stress / for enjoyment--), so yes, it is fine. The "pal" will have to understand.
