So, if one assumes the Miscellaneous "First Class" members are actually paying for First Class Postage thanks to their generous donations, that leaves roughly $1,000 a year in postage costs for ODV and all the others. Peanuts in the grand scheme to things when we are looking at a potential deficit several orders of magnitude larger. I REALLY appreciate my 1st class QSTs, otherwise I don't get them until almost the next month, several weeks after the East Coasters. They usually sit in Portland for at least a week after they arrive in their facility before they pack the horses for Scappoose. 73; Mike W7VO
