Hold on some companies require Hard copies of stuff
and it is not really the Webmasters fault or lack of
knowledge.. Also some companies like the one I work
for monitor incomiong and out going traffic and would
rather you not e-mail much.. Thye also try to cu tback
the traffic and bandwidth for many other reasons.. the
option of mailing Snail mail vers E- mail save Via a
potntional virus to a delicate network as well as
traffic via the web.. Also Shows us the though of both
are there and shows iot was thought out very well..
Snide comments show us nother more then an Nonthought
out comment based on your opion not reality and
reality is there are millions of com[anies out there
that do not want to waist there time with a crap load
of e-mail only take serious mail to the bank...
