I don't even know what I would send in the mail. It's pretty much just a coupon/junk delivery service at this point. Just get rid of it.

Can't speak for everywhere or everyone, but my grandmother sure enjoys knowing when her hospital appointments are.

Yep. My aunt (in Sweden) still receives and pays all her bills by mail. She's never been online, she doesn't have an email account and she's never owned a computer or a cell phone.
