When I go to my mail box each day, it normally contains several pieces of "spam" mail, and one or twice a month, some notice from a utility {pay my bills on-line and get the same notices via e-mail}.

My Golf Magazine, American Hunter and Rush Limbaugh Newsletter are three pieces of mail that I look forward to, but if the USPS stopped delivery, they would be sent using another service.

I can't remember the last time I received a hand written letter or even a personal typed one.

The USPS was a valuable service before the internet and e-communications, and there is still a place for delivery services, but the entire structure needs to be adapted to today's conditions.

We recently needed to ship something to Annapolis and it was Friday.

The overnight {weekend} rate via Fed-Ex was $ 65 while the Monday rate was $16, we decided that they could wait until Monday. Strictly a business decision. If they had to have it on Saturday, I'd have paid the extra dollars.

Golf Magazine, American Hunter and Rush Limbaugh Newsletter are cross subsidized by First Class letter mail.

You should contact the Postmaster General and demand that your subsidy be eliminated.
