Comments on: What’s forever for? http://www.dustbury.com/archives/9227 I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less.

After you handle thousands of letters a day, the hinky stuff really stands out. When I worked there, I saw reused postage all the time. People would cut out bulk rate stamps, thinking they'd work as first class. If someone got a letter with an uncancelled stamp, they'd cut it out and paste it to the new letter. Pretty easy to spot. That sort of small time penny pinching never made sense to me - so what if you actually got it to work instead of getting your letter refused. So you saved forty odd cents for how much labor? You've gotta be working pretty cheap to save forty four cents. Yep, that’s what it’s there for. After you handle thousands of letters a day, the hinky stuff really stands out.
