Hi Ed!

 EV> If a First Class Postage Stamp were sold at the price they did in
 EV> the 1960's, when I get Junk Mail in my Mailbox sent repeatedly to
 EV> me as bulk Mail at a cost to them much less than I can pay for a
 EV> Postage Stamp (most of them are about things I'm not interest at
 EV> all in buying) I'd Write back and tell them this:

Makes sense, though I read a little while back the telephone spammers 
only have to have two takers per hour to be profitable.  Different from
your mailings post, but just as an example of how low the profitable 
number is.

Do agree on your postage expense citing (plus paper, printing, etc., 
expenses): there's a national insurance company with numerous agents 
locally.  Not only local-local as in in town but also agents in nearby 
towns.  I think we've reveived soliciations from each of their agents, 
sometimes from two different agents on the same day.  Sent out by 
Corporate, but the initial thought is "Jeff from Davenport and Paul
from Silvis".  

Wonder what their insurance rates would be if the company didn't spend 
all this money on postage, paper, printing, stuffing, etc.?  The obvious
answer is a lot less but I'm thinking the real answer is a lot more
because if doing so was costing them more money than bringing in they'd
stop.
