Hi Paul!
Really! Have you figured yourself an hourly rate for getting your hands
dirty as you put it, or do you have yourself on salary? <s>
That is what I was getting at, *all* the costs. Wages for whoever does
it, supplies, postage, a mailing list, the permit you mentioned,
printing/folding/stuffing machines, forklift, truck and a place to keep
all of it . . . You add all that up and you are working awfully hard to
pay about the same, usually more.
Of course, if you are in that business anyway . . . "Quill and Mouse"
sounds like you might be.
Regards,
Pete
