All I'm suggesting is that we removing the limitation that prohibits them
from shipping non-urgent mail.   It can't hurt to let them *try* to beat
post office rates, can it?  If you want to require them to serve the whole
country with a flate charge (of their choosing), that's fine.

Anyway, this is very off-topic... further replies from me will be off-list.
