Postage.

Periodically, the Bar spends approximately 48 cents to send me a hard copy of a confidential reference form to fill out on an attorney who has applied for board certification/recertification.

The Bar always encloses a return envelope, postage prepaid, for my use. Every time I pull up the scanned copy of the form I maintain on my computer, fill it out, sign it, and return it to the Bar as an attachment to an email.

Would it be that hard for the Bar to email the form to me and all others it selects to provide these evaluations? It would save the Bar (and, in the long run, all Bar members) the cost of the envelopes, the cost of the postage, and the cost of the time of employees to handle paper, both at the Bar's end sending the form and at my end receiving it. It's not as if the Bar does not have an email address for each of its members.

I used to put this question at the bottom of each one of these forms I filled out, but I stopped...
