Are stamps necessary in this day and age? I ask that because over here in France one can buy a pack of pre-paid envelopes for use in the country and territories, overseas do require a stamp which is usually printed out at the post office after they have weighed the letter (the weighing and printing of the stamp is one machine).

It's a lie. Isn't that what the ASA was created to prevent?

Not for much longer, I hope.
