The Tuesday Two

Patrick, from Patrick's Place, has posted his Tuesday Two meme. Check it out!

Here's how to play:

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: YOU'VE GOT MAIL

QUESTION A:
If you could block traditional mail from a single sender, (and it couldn't be a company that you currently legitimately owe money to), which company would you select and why?

or

QUESTION B:
The cost of mailing a letter now stands at 39¢. How much do you think is too much for postage for a single letter? What amount would be the cut-off at which you'd stop sending letters, or is there any amount that would make you stop completely?

Choose A or B, (indicate which question you're answering!) then either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)


My answer: Question B:

This is going to sound crazy, but I am a fanatical devotee of the USPS. I LOVE the postal service. I will always send letters. Correspondence is a lost art form. Letter writing and mail used to be such a crucial part of our lives, and no easy thing to send and receive, either.

We take for granted now the manpower and relative ease with which we use the post. Ours is also amazingly cheap and reliable, even for a first world country. I use their priority mail, express mail, regular mail, and I LOVE the self-service kiosk as well. Heck, when it comes to letter writing, I use a stylus and ink well. I have a stamp and wax seal set and even gold powder for my seal.

LET'S GO POSTAL!
