Open memo to the USA

[zeborah]

Quit raising your postage rates when I've barely started on the sheet of stamps from last time you raised your postage rates.

(Open memo to self: if you submitted stories more regularly you wouldn't have so many stamps left on the sheet.)

Fortunately, last time they did this to me I had the foresight to get a bunch of 5c stamps along with my new-full-price stamps. Unfortunately, this time they've raised the price by 6c. Fortunately at the rate I send out postal submissions I've probably got enough to last me until the end of the year anyway.

More and more short-story markets take electronic submissions.

Yes, that's part of the reason I'm not using very many stamps. Still, I do want to be able to keep submitting to F&SF and other snail-mail-only places.
