OK, so when she runs, screaming, for the exits then my statement becomes true
once more.

Outbound is at "Presorted Standard" (bulk mail) rates. Inbound is at 1st class
postage. A minimum of 46c (currently) per piece.

According to pe.usps.gov "For an annual permit fee, a Business Reply Mail (BRM)
permit is available for distributing business reply cards, envelopes,
self-mailers, cartons, and labels. BRM allows the permit holder to receive
First-Class Mail and Priority Mail back from customers by paying postage only
on the mail returned. The BRM permit holder guarantees payment of First-Class
Mail postage plus a per piece charge for pieces returned by the USPS."

 -> helps the Post Office department. I do the same with unsolicited offers

Quite a bit, actually. Sometimes the little victories are the sweetest.

      Title: Old Post Office Crab Cakes
 Categories: Seafood, Breads, Citrus
      Yield: 8 Cakes

      1 lb Jumbo lump crab meat
      1 lb Claw crab meat
      1 c  High quality mayonnaise
    1/4 c  Dijon mustard
      1 tb Old Bay Seasoning
           Juice of 1 lemon
      1 c  Panko
      2    Egg whites; stiffly beaten

MMMMM----------------------MOUSSELINE SAUCE---------------------------
      4 lg Egg yolks
      2 ts Lemon juice
    1/4 lb Butter; melted, boiling hot
           Cayenne
      1 ts Salt
      2 tb Heavy cream

  HOW TO COOK MOUSSELINE SAUCE: Put the egg yolks and lemon
  juice in a blender and add the butter in a slow steady
  stream; make sure the butter is very hot.

  Blend in the cayenne and salt.

  Add heavy cream.

  If you wish to have the sauce thicker, place a bowl over a
  pot of softly boiling water, and stir constantly with a
  whisk until thick.

  MAKE THE CAKES: Preheat the oven to 475øF/245øC.

  Make sure there are not shells in the crab meat and that
  the meat is moist but not watery. Gently mix the crab
  meats, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay, lemon juice, and
  panko, being careful not to break up the lump crab meat
  too much. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

  Using about a 4-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop out cakes
  onto an oiled baking sheet. (You can make large or small
  cakes.)

  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cakes are fluffy and
  golden.

  Serve the crab cakes with Mousseline Sauce.
