Why would our mailer's service suddenly deteriorate for the  Jan issue???

Let me explain my "line of thought."  AIS is procuring a service from  a 
contractor. It is up to the contractor to deliver that service. We do not deal  
with the USPS. The contractor deals with USPS. We pay for the service. If  that 
service is not performed satisfactorily, it is the responsibility of the  
contractor to determine why and to correct it. That is point one.
 
Point two is this: The USPS is a very large organization. If the January  
Bulletin delivery problem were isolated to one or two geographic areas, I could  
believe that USPS was the source of the problem. 'When the problem is  
geographically dispersed, it is not likely that USPS failed many places at the  same 
time. Logic would indicate that the problem was probably nearer the source,  
i.e. the mailer. Note, I am only talking logic. I certainly do not know the  
actual cause--but it is the mailer's responsibility to find out what the cause  
is. If the mailer cannot, I think we should change mailers. Clarence
