Seems to me foodies send (or order) foodstuffs (or kitchen
equipment) through the mail quite often. This screwball
re-do of the first-class rates throws a primate wrench into
the mailorder business. Just think about this -- you can no
longer just set your package onto the scale sitting in the
post office lobby and read off the first class mail amount.
Heck, I bet the postal workers will not be able to figure it
out for the next little while. And the mail sorters who have
to flag and remove packages with underpostage? I don't even
want to think about it. Somebody give me a pill.

This could help tho' I'd much rather have simple formulas that
did not require me to log on the Internet and they could easily
have given dimension ranges on the page.
