Because they often include a "family newsletter" that's our main way of keeping in touch. It's also a common way for them to tell me about a change of address. How many of your "hundred or so" people and organisations that you claim communicate with you by snailmail (seems extrordinarily high) do you actually *want* to receive mail from? Pretty much all of them. I can think of one catalogue company that won't take "no" for an answer, but the rest are quite welcome, albeit often only an annual statement of some kind. Mail redirect only operates for a couple of months or so, Rubbish! You can do to for twelve months and then renew it. However, given the gross incompetence of Royal Mail, they may not bother to redirect your post even when you've paid for the service! so you still have to actually inform all those people of your change of address. Seeing that you have to inform them anyway, it is just as much effort to inform them *before* you move as afterwards. I've substituted email for snailmail whenever possible, and find it a heck of a lot better. Albeit I was pretty much forced to do so because I was living on a boat (not having a letterbox). Most bills and statements can be switched to email these days. Consequently I don't get any more than 1 personally addressed letter every two weeks or so. It helps save trees as well (not that I care). -- Moving things in still pictures FastStone - Infinitely Flexible Photographic Fixing - For Free! www.FastStone.org |
