Would anyone like to exchange a completed hard copy manuscript?

I am new to Absolute write as of tonight.
I am looking for someone who would like to exchange (via snail mail) full manuscripts for reciprocal editing and critiquing.
I write character driven stories about women who discover their inner strength. I need someone, other than relatives, to read my story and tell me what I need to be told. I would welcome a critique from someone who is 'thirty-something' or younger.
My credentials: Masters degree in psychology, certified Texas teacher. More importantly: I'm not 'stuck' in the female lit gendre. I read all kinds of stories, from Steinbeck to Phillipa Gregory, from Steven King to P.D.James. I think I could competently critique most gendres.

Hi Ugawa and Mumut. (unusual names, bytheway)
I appreciate your responses and suggestions. I've explored both options. And, I recognize that people are reluctant to establish a personal contact. So am I. A little paranoia is a good thing when using the internet.
Posting a chapter at a time divided my concentration and distracted me from the story I'm involved in now. Besides, I am barely computer literate and spent a lot of time trying to be sure that my post did not transmit weird characters etc.
I joined a group in Amarillo which meets bi-monthly. Great group, but the only members who were willing to read a manuscript wanted $1 or more per page for a superficial critique. Add to that: I had to drag myself out of bed at 6am to be in Amarillo by 9am. Who needs that? (I live in the West Texas Outback, Mumut.)
Anyway, I let these things stop me. Okay. My quest to find a reader in the same situation as I am might be naive. I might be overly optimistic to encourage 30-something readers with a completed ms to exchange. (Anyone in the 30-something range probably doesn't have two minutes to go potty, much less read a ms.)
Surely, there is someone, somewhere, who is in this same situation and who is trustworthy.
Thanks again for taking time to respond. Jane

I appreciate the responses. Hmmm. I like having a printed page to peruse. And, the continuity of reading a story straight through, rather than waiting a week or two to see what happens next, appeals to me.
The internet is fast and puts us in touch with more people. Doing a chapter critique on the internet is sometimes like coming into a conversation ten minutes late. Anything important may have already been said. Or, the impact of the story is lost while waiting for the next installment.
What about the cost of electricity to run the computers as opposed to cost of gasoline? I drive 14 miles round trip to the PO, and, am old-fashioned enough to know that 'printed matter' gets a cost break. It seems Redzilla has had an unpleasant experience with exchanging a ms. I don't anticipate 'schleping', or even lugging, a ms around. I anticipate putting it by my chair and using a part of my usual reading time to read a 'raw' ms. (by the way..is 'Redzilla' your real name?)
I have no idea what issues Matera the Mad may have with the Courier font, but agents usually require the Courier font. Is reading from the computer screen easier on the eyes (and back and neck) than reading a printed page? The idea of acquiring a premature 'widow's hump' from hunching over the computer screen doesn't appeal to me.
Anyway, enough 'tongue in cheek' teasing...
What I had in mind was a manuscript exchange in which both manuscripts are 'agent ready'. (i.e.)Manuscripts which are correctly formatted and edited for punctuation and grammar,etc. (as closely as possible) with title page, headed and numbered pages and required elimination of 'orphan lines', etc. I had in mind to use a 'critique form' which would be agreed upon before the project began. (Which means an outlay of 42 cents to mail one sheet of paper when each chapter has been critiqued and the cost of returning the ms when the project is finished.)
I am aware that agents are requesting email queries (hooks) and I will be working on that skill. But. When an agent requests a partial or full manuscript, I want mine to be 'agent ready'. Don't you? HJL

You do have a difficult situation to live with. I'd extend my sympathy, but I have a feeling you wouldn't like that. So, I'll just say, "Thanks for the input, Matera the Mad."

What a tempest in a teapot my simple question has stirred up! Somehow, this query was sidetracked into a (sometimes hostile) discussion of computer vs hard copy. Not my intention at all, y'all.
