I think the mail could be delivered once or twice a week with very little real impact. Business would continue to use services like FedEx and UPS for critical fast delivery and those who do still require bills and checks to be sent on little sheets of paper carried around by federal workers would still get them in a timely manner. Social Security checks will be all electronic by March 2013, most tax filings can and are done electronically. But even those could be delivered once a week just fine. SIX DAYS a week?!?!? Overkill. Way way overkill. -Cameron . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:339026 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
