This waste of stamps should be reduced in 2011 and future years as USPS
now releases virtually all first class one-ounce stamps in "Forever"
format. Customers don't want to buy 44-cent stamps and then add a penny
stamp to make up the latest first-class rate.

PAS #8 readying for take off SIR!

Much better idea would be just, say, 8 cmmemmoratives, plus 3 or 4
'end of year' holiday issues. Save a big hassle for the smaller post
offices. The 'cave mentality' keeps pushing the new issues and there's
not enough sales for them to handle it!
