I'm a great proponent of common sense :)
Still raises the question, Tamara, of "how come other countries can read the sender's addresses at the back with -probably- the same machines?..." In Australia, we are required to put the Airmail sticker in the top left-hand corner. As far as I know, there are no stickers that combine "AIRMAIL" and sender's address on them :-)otherwise, I might buy them. I am quite happy for all the POs in the world to discuss the matter and decide that they are *all* going to ask their citizens to put the sender's address in the top left-hand corner (or wherever). I am less happy to know that my mail might be ditched out when I write to one country while it's OK in all the others...As you say, it's a small thing, but it is another irritant. I think I will put the sender's address on both back and front this Xmas, just to annoy everyone :-) helene, the froggy from Melbourne, with about 100 Xmas letters to go...
