There was another thread started very recently and here's what I posted on it.
It's too bad the Postal Service can't make it. I heard (or read) that they depend on bulk mailing because of the sharp reduction in first class mail. Seems like email, Texting and FAX have taken over as the primary ways people communicate so aren't mailing things anymore. Many statements I get from banks, insurance, etc. all say "if you want to make this paper statement go away, enroll in our e-statement program". so even they aren't mailing as much. Yet, we want our mail delivered and all services that we are used to. I guess we and they are between a rock and a hard place.
