Yeah I put something out for the guy to pickup and realized I only put out like 2 things a year. I pay all my bills online and most of my stuff is ebill now. It really is an obsolete system, for me anyway.

This thread got me curious so I did some Googling and found this:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt063.shtm

Will be interesting to see how well it works, but it would be great to cut down on the mail I get...
