Post office is no longer doing that photo stamp thing...was it us?

[neomonkey]

Last week, when the 2-faced avator of Bush started surfacing here, there was a rush to get them made as 37 cent stamps through the customized service the post office was offering...

Now, no longer is it an option... did we have a part in that?

USPO Ditches Home Photo Stamps


LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Postal Service has canceled a brief experiment that allowed ordinary people to make postage stamps using images of their dogs, babies and even, it turned out, outlaws such as the Unabomber.

Stamps.com, based in Santa Monica, said this week its PhotoStamps program has ended for now while the U.S. Postal Service re-evaluates the program.

"We are disappointed with this outcome as it puts the PhotoStamps program into a state of limbo as the holiday season approaches," Stamps.com CEO Ken McBride said in a statement.

7. It was awfully smug of me to assume it was DUers who caused this

But I'd sure love to think we were the straw that broke that camel's back!

Well they can throw this idea into the Terrible Ideas That Never Should Have Been trashbin (right next to the Let's Elect Another Bush As President idea).

8. British version called "smilers"

"Government service" is a phrase right wingers do not like,government is bad and services should be privatized.If people like the Post Office too much they may reflect on the benefits of other government services boosting the view of the public sector.
