That just does not make sense to me.  Mailing costs are only part of
it - printing costs are pretty heavy; 'course I don't know what that
catalog was like, but still, even B&W on newsprint ain't free these
days.

Yes, it costs something to purge your address list, but it is so hard
for me to believe that, in this day of computers - this is more
expensive than printing and postage.  I've looked into bulk mail and
it isn't really pennies????????
