I sent a substantial donation to The Nation, a US left-wing political mag with a small circulation, for their fund to get this hike reversed. The insidious thing about this rate hike is that it will make it cheaper for Time & Newsweek to mail their tripe -- because they mail in such bulk -- but much more expensive for small lit mags & political journals, because they sometimes have only an iddue or two going into a particular postal code. jd On 10/26/07, Max Richards <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > [I might have been an overseas US citizen?] > > Well, and are our US friends agitated about this apparent threat...? > > > On 27/10/07 12:45 AM, "Douglas Barbour" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > Hi Max > > > > I'm not sure why they bothered telling you, as (as I expected when I > > looked at the site) only USAmericans can join the petition. > > > > So the rest of us are out of the game here.... > > > > Doug > > -- Joseph Duemer Professor of Humanities Clarkson University [sharpsand.net]
