I saw a post about this on Monday and didn't want my fellow claypeople to
worry, it is just a hoax.
WASHINGTON-A completely false rumor concerning the U.S. Postal Service is
being circulated on Internet e-mail. As a matter of fact, the Postal Service
has learned that a similar hoax occurred recently in Canada concerning
Canada Post.
The e-mail message claims that a "Congressman Schnell" has introduced "Bill
602P" to allow the federal government to impose a 5-cent surcharge on each
e-mail message delivered over the Internet. The money would be collected by
Internet Service Providers and then turned over to the Postal Service.
No such proposed legislation exists. In fact, no "Congressman Schnell"
exists.
The U.S. Postal Service has no authority to surcharge e-mail messages sent
over the Internet, nor would it support such legislation.
