Priority Mail boxes for media mail purposes comes up for discussion. The
question is whether using these boxes for other-than priority mail is
against the law.
There MUST be lawyers who read this newsgroup.
Will someone...

Go ahead and bid... by
Jon Meyers
Today's eBay book auction of the day (not mine), and maybe one for the
Anti-FAQs, eh Auntie?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3578188974
(But why not end the auction and ask for a refund? eBay actually is
reasonable about these things if you ask nicely.)

Hello all,
A sort of brag, and a question....
I've wanted a copy of John Baxter's "A Pound of Paper" for awhile, but the
