If you're busy then wait until you have a few seconds. If not then respond. I wouldn't put too much thought into this. Just be empathetic to the sender. If I would send an invite, I'd love a quick response. But would be forgi

I think the original authors point is, that the US Postal Service's performance of letter delivery, is not a denominated currency like ounces of gold or cents and dollars. But the real value of a stamp would be ounces of mail, and not
