But, then you're back to the maildrop/post office thing. I did it, but probably
won't in the future. By the time you figure in the time, materials, hassles and
postage to mail it ahead, you may be able to throw away the excess more cheaply
than sending it. Plus, this eleminates the necessity of being at the post office
when it's open.
