Wonder if there are any Federal Government people who view this site and see you admitting to frauduently abusing the mail system?

Hmmm... you probably have nothing to worry about....It was just a thought!

I once sent an ESC to someone on RCC to test. When he finished testing it, I just asked him to write RETURN TO SENDER on the front, tape it shut, and pop it in the box. Worked fine.

I was laughing the whole time I wrote that wondering what reaction you'd have to that one. Just having a bit of fun with you Jon thus the wink! My weard way of thinking is all. Geeeez, really though, I hate to see a fellow flyer get into trouble when he was just fooling around. These government people really have no sense of humor!

Please accept my apology, I didn't mean to spoil your fun my friend!

If they want to take me to court for 50 cents worth of fraud, they're welcome to do so

He charged for shipping.

He took a local (B.C.) 'free' publication with a mass mailing charge account preprinted on it, sealed the item inside with tape and scribbled my name and address on the back.

I have been having fun for years with junk mail. I write in bold letters on applications and such "Thank you for using our postal system" and mail back other junk mail to the junk mailers in their stamped return address envelopes. imagine if everyone did it.
