I guess it's better than raising the postage rate, maybe

Not only is print media getting hit by the rise of the internet, but so is the US Mail:

"WASHINGTON - Worsening economic conditions and the changing habits of Americans are threatening to do to the US Postal Service what neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night could: stop delivery of the mail, at least by one day each week."  (Full article here)


Personally, I hate "no mail" days. I like checking the mail box M-Sat, but with e-mail, online magazines, and online bill pay, I have decreased the amount of mail I send, so it seems reasonable to consider cutting back on delivery. It just seems a little sad that 6 day mail delivery might go away.
