The FRE problems remind me of when I was in a fabric post card swap. Most of the postcards I recieved from within the US had a regular 1st class stamp, a few had a little additonal postage. My PO wanted to charge me over $1 for each postcard so I went home, put my postcards in an envelope and mailed them with a 1st class stamp. That sort of changed the whole idea of exchanging postcards but I didn't waste my money on postage.
