Sorry for ruining your New Years Day, Nixy, but you'll have to start advocating for this one too.

On the other hand, I worry that a shorter period might constrain quality and thus worsen the revenue situation by driving even more people towards alternative shipping methods.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye, but I could still be convinced otherwise at this point.


If I had checked, this could have been ended on the third as it was 2-6 then and even with mine is 3-6.

Any other thoughts on this matter? This isn't quite as much of a big Fing deal, but it is important regardless, don't you know.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Passed.

If it has, the updated version of it at the beginning of this thread isn't showing it. 

Thats good, because there is no updated version at the beginning of the thread.

Just a few last points of inquiry, for Barnes or whoever, how was 70% determined to be an appropriate level?

Also, can we get a response to oakie's question here?

I'm not exactly convinced that the postal service isn't something that couldn't be done more efficiently by the private sector, but if we're to have a public postal service we should at least make sure it's somewhat cost efficient. I'm not particularly sure that ending Saturday post would be such a big deal that it needs an in-depth study, though.

I determined it, jerk.

I'm sorry, who the hell are you? My mind is drawing a blank.

Was there a process behind that determination of 70%? Failure to answer my result in me not processing this at quite so fast a pace as might be expected (My computer isn't working again and thus getting on here is fing chore. My supposedly "new" computer has been crashed for some time. Never did like that POS, hence why I kept using my older one).

Indeed, of course it also depends on how much lattitude we give them to renegotiate.
Does anyone else have concerns about that or some other issues? Are we by chance done on this?
