Jeremy, i simply don't want the liability of potentially being personally accused of 'id theft' and the likes of 'negligent enablement' thereof in today's highly litigious America where it seems like 50% americans are prescribed some sort of psychiatrics drugs and the other half on recreational ones; and the average civilian being practically a professional 'crisis actor'. frankly, and im not even kidding, 10-20 years ago it used to be that young adults wanted to be rock stars. now its practically like every one wants to be 'lawyer'?

But at the volume you're doing, that may not even be worth it.I don't keep up with the trends in wholesaling direct mail practices, but there's a general axiom in direct mail saying that it does you no good to save on postage at the expense of getting your pieces opened.

I find it to be an exercise in "who cares".
