I glazed over when Gene started to talk about 28 lbs of paper.  28 lbs is 2 
stone.  I couldn't carry 28 lbs of paper.

I buy paper by the 500 sheets!!  And you don't need to  know what the numbers 
(80 gsm etc) actually mean, though I do.  100 is when you really want 
something to look nice.  120 is thin card, 90 is what I used on all documents 
leaving the house for some years (because I was in business) and I now use 80 
because I am skinflint in my old age.  70, the once I ever bought it some 
years ago, caused my printer to jam up.
