More received than sent


I usually have the same problem with postcrossing.
For example:
The day I decided to set my account to "inactive" I had 15 sent and 10 received. Four months later, I set it to "active" during 1 hour to see what happens. After some weeks, I received lots of postcards and I had 20 received and, of course, just 15 sent.
What can I do to receive just the postcards I need for a nice balance? ;)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

I was wondering the same thing!

I prefer to only receive a postcard after one that I sent has been registered. Otherwise sending a postcard feels a bit like an obligation to me.

So... we just have to accept it =/
