I’ve known alot of people who subscribe to all manner of junk mail and save it throughout the year to use as fuel in their fireplaces in the winter.

Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, **Acornett1** , we’re glad to have you with us.

I’m a little confused about your post. If it’s a comment on one of Cecil’s columns, then it belongs in the forum called “Comments on Cecil’s Columns.” If it’s a commenton a Staff Reort, then it belongs in the forum “COmmens on Staff Reports.” If it’s a separate issue on its one, then it belongs in IMHO.

If you’'ll clarify (perhaps in email), I’ll be glad to put it where it will get better responses.
