Save your condescension (expressed in sentence fragments and otherwise
garbled English though it is) for someone who might be slightly
impressed by it; also, perhaps, for a time when you have a chance of
being right.

I am looking, as I type this, at two pieces of free mail I sent from
the Arabian Gulf.  Both have postmarks over the word "Free."  On the
other hand, I received stamped mail last week that had no postmark.
(It was sent from Maryland to Michigan.)  

Mail I get from overseas -- always stamped these days, as I am not
corresponding with anyone currently in a combat zone -- is postmarked
perhaps 2/3 of the time.
