It doesn't really matter, Vels. My *first-class* Acorn for April arrived 
just six days ago. (Tuesday, 25 April.) And most of the folks I talked to 
at music rehearsal tonight had their first-class April Acorns delivered on 
the 24th or 25th last week. This problem exists irrespective of which 
class mail your newsletter is.

And third-class mail has been the standard method of sending out the Acorn 
for at least the last twenty years -- all that time one has *always* had 
to pay extra to get first-class.
