[Mccoypottery-talk] Thanks to the group

I must 2nd that.
I never knew the USPS would give you free boxes, either.   I was
very glad to learn that.   This list is VERY enlightening -- in more
ways than one.  ;-)

Learning about the boxes helped me in another way.    I was
complaining to a seller about those exorbitant shipping costs.  He
proceeded to tell me that one of the reasons his costs were so high
is that he had to buy special boxes to ship via priority mail.  The boxes
were very expensive -- about $4.    I told him (politely, though I didn't
feel like it), that I knew better and to "stuff it".  ;-)
