That is the crux of the disagreement. You guys think that as long as
"most" of the legitimate mail is not delayed, the price is worth it. I
don't think so.

Knowing that most legitimate mail doesn't get delayed doesn't make me
feel better when mail I sit waiting for gets delayed. Obviously, for
most mail I don't care as I don't sit waiting for it, I batch-treat it
a fez times per day or per week. So a half-hour delay on it, I don't
even see it. For *most* mail.
