    If so, this would only be because most mail is junk mail, not because many people actually would agree with you. I highly doubt your position is shared by too many people, percentagewise.

    Quote:Unlike most, I've taken active steps to reduce the amount of paper mail I receive, but the trend will catch on in time, of that I am confident.

    I've already asked you, why is paper mail vital? You say this but in what way could you possibly quantify it? Who would suffer if that service was drastically scaled back?

    If the service was vital, it would not be bleeding to death financially because people would use it. For reasons I certainly don't comprehend, you seem to want to prop up this service, just because. Saturday delivery will end, soon. Eventually, it will probably slip to three days a week. Nobody will do anything so drastic as shut it off entirely, but if you think mail actually has a future other than extinction, you're the one who's deluded.

    -Netflix/Gamefly
    -Magazines (they definitely still have some value...)
    -Bills you pay by mail or want paper copies of
    -Bank statements
    -Other important mail (notices, etc.)
    -Packages (and yes, turning into some package service would inevitably have to increase prices, if service was less frequent, etc...)
    Etc.

    There are many reasons why mail is still important.
