(From a strictly economic POV, using "junk stamps" is the best route to go. For "bulk mailings", the data suggests that "junk stamps" on the cover generate the highest returns --- both average dollar amount of the order, and response rate.); > Do you think it is worthwhile to go on with this idea or should I just drop it? I don't see it as generating any revenue for OOo. It might have value as a special interest press release. (A specially designed stamp honouring the release of OOo x.x was created by blah, blah blah. A philatelic cover honouring this release was created by blah, blah, blah. Both of these items are available from blah, blah, blah.) Like pretty much everything else in the project, if you want to do it, go for it. jonathon - -- Non-list email sent to this email address is forwarded to Dave Null, unread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvVI1MACgkQVyQBHg3MfvRJFACgopbAcS1QLcP7RhnvIeWf4OYs CmUAoI1Go3RU3ZoK/tam76If0WZ04khP =5uRo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
