A subsequent mail-art project comprised of 240 artists' responses to Hambleton's request to complete the identity of "Mr. Reeee" (the mass killer) is also documented. Includes comments on the process by 28 of the participating artists including Hambleton, Ulises Carrión, Robin Crozier, Peter Below, David Zack, Leonhard Frank Duch, Ko De Jonge, Robert Rehfeldt, Judith A. Hoffberg, John Dowd, Noemi Maidan, Ken Friedman, Ed Varney, Anna Banana, Patricia Tavenner, Lon Spiegelman, Mike Crane, Miroljub Todorvic, etc.  R. Dick Trace It was a pseudonym of Hambleton. The Perpetual Cyclic Calendar operates as a slide ruler. An inner shaft can be moved in and out to predict the future of the artist. The phallic shaft is fully extended in peak years of productivity, retreating post-coitus style during the slump years. A major thrust in creativity was anticipated in 1984, 2000, 1982-1983, 1983-1988. To drive the point home, the rise and fall of Hambleton's creativity is plotted in stylized graphs and charts, like the projected profits and losses of a corporation.

"Petasz launched this travelling magazine in 1977, and it may have been contributed to the idea that, in Petasz's opinion, if each issue was edited by a different person and therefore the place of publication also changed, Polish authorities would not be able to control editorial work or ban the magazine. After the first issue [published in December 1977] Petasz only undertook the task of coordination. The practice was that the person who wanted to edit a Commonpress issue could announce any topic freely. If they wanted to know which issue it would be, it was necessary to exchange letters with Petasz. Then in each finished Commonpress publication the planned topic of the next issues, the deadlines to hand in contributions and the address of the editors were announced. This way the magazine was passed from hand to hand and the participants handing in their works followed the wandering addresses of editors to any part of the world. By this means Commonpress published nearly 60 magazines of very different characters in several years. "The whole project could be compared to one big assembling whose centre does not receive contributions by the artists but the editors participating in it present different magazines under a common title. The issues themselves hardly resembled assemblings, since they were Mail Art compilations."-Géza Perneczky, Assembling Magazines: 1969-2000 (2007), pp. 72-73.
