[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 913349, member: 54538"] One thing the "abolish the USPS" ideas proposed here don't address is communication where more individual touch is desired than anything e-mailed or electronic. There is still a large portion of the population, in all age groups (although I'll admit that it tends to skew to more prevalence with increased age), who still values the personal touch that a handwritten thank you note, or a handwritten letter, or greetings and holiday cards, convey, that there is simply no electronic substitute for yet. Sure, you could ship them via UPS or Fedex--but that's simply not economically practical for most people. (And yes, I'll admit that part of what is ailing USPS is that they continue to have rates at which things like this remain economically practical--but that's another separate conversation.) And regarding the age of people who value this form of communication skewing away from the younger generation--in this particular case, I think that it has as much to do with maturity of values as it does with comfort with technology. And for that reason, the desire for that form of communication to be available likely won't simply die off with the baby boomers. [/QUOTE]
