If this is a *real* story (one that isn't hushed up???) i would like to retract my previous statements about not minding paying thirty cents. Thinking in terms of quantities and economies of scale, how much would it cost to ship a one ounce letter (vs the 25 cents we are now charged) and why do we have to pay the same charge for intracity as intercity delivery??? (That is something the heavyduty mailer types should be *very* upset about, Larry) Nah, i changed my mind again, i want to retract the thirty cent is okay for a stamp regardless of the story getting squashed or not ;-) -rob- go go moynie rah rah stop the tax increases!!! "No new taxes" = more of the same old ones, eh???
