A company that wastes, in comparison with its competitors, that kind of money...soon finds itself at a competitive disadvantage. The first company to make the leap gets a jump on the competition. And, once the competitors figure out how it is that the trailblazers are undercutting them...then the thumbs tend to get chopped off if their owners still try to keep them on the scale. The USPS, of course, is its own special unique beast. They get pulled in so many directions that the normal rules don't apply. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
