Well I think - five or six times - he made his point perfectly clear,

Or what a lot of people have done is to turn to the internet where you can send a note, memo, or letter, and pay a bill online. The writing of letters is a thing of the past.

"The writing of letters is a thing of the past"

How outdated, don't they know now you just send poorly spelled, no grammer, tiny little text messages from your phone...while you're driving through a parking lot now? What's a stamp?

Yeah yeah, letters and what not are a thing of the past. No denying that BUT think of the protections offered by the USPS that are not offered through electronic outlets. I am not a tin foil hat guy, but with all of this NSA stuff and the breach at Target, the USPS has stringent policies in place for the protection of the mail that they carry. Kind of wild that they haven't transferred over to the e world.

But the USPS is still telling the NSA who is sending you mail, I don't trust their "protections".

haha, fair point as you are probably correct with electronic scanning/sorting.

That author must read SCF -- his opening paragraph is from my Dad, a story I've told here a couple times.
