Hello, All!

It is probably OT for this group but I had to look at the new
postal rates this morning since I had some heavier letters to
send. The US Post Office seems to have done a wonderful job of
complicating things with no simple formula applicable over a
large range. Have a careful look at letter post rates if you
have to go from 3 oz to 4 oz.

Fortunately, most things I mail to Europe and Canada are under 2
oz but the 1 oz increments are really erratic!

A rationale for the new rates is that they will increase
efficiency but it seems to me that they will increase business
at the actual post offices!
