rumors of Trystero abound

[kelber at mindspring.com]

The basic problem with the postal system is that a public employee walks up to our door 6 days a week, drops a pile of junk mail and splits.  I then deposit the junk mail in the recycling bin, where another public employee in a gas-guzzling truck takes it to be recycled into more junk mail.  I kind of wish I could be cut out of this process.  The occasional personal letter (or the even rarer check) often gets caught in between the pages of an unwanted catalog and inadvertently discarded.  What would work better: a combination of e-mail and Trystero.
