rumors of Trystero abound

[Ian Livingston]

I'm with Laura on this one. So rare is there anything worth looking at
in the mail, I rarely bother looking. USPS would be better
streamlining the junk mail business directly to local recycling
centers. Or better yet, just becoming a recycling center to finance
its occasional personal mail delivery. Or just, as Laura sez, leave
the mail to Trystero.

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.

than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
