I agree.  That kind of attitude makes it her fault, choosing not to read 
mail.  It's different when you have to find somebody to read the mail, but 
when you actually choose not to, then, that makes it your fault.  Pam.

While it would be really nice to only receive material electronically, I
think it will be a long time before that actually happens. Mail while not
used as often as in the past is here to stay. Some agencies, such as the
IRS, send letters because secure information is contained within. Would you
want your social Security number sent in an email? I certainly would not.
I'm sorry to say, but I think it is irresponsibible not to read one's mail.

Hi. This is Karen one of the three people in the lawsuit. :-) Actually, it
is my policy specifically not to read anything in print. Anyone who knows me
will send things by email. Snail mail is completely outdated, and anyone
contacting me is probably contacting occupant and not me. I will not read
government correspondence that is in snail mail format because I believe
that snail mail is completely unnecessary

one is self-employed, that can make a big difference because one has to
figure estimated tax.  I went through this once and ended up owing $2300 in
taxes. That was the mother of shockers.  Fortunately, I was able to pay it
immediately, but it was a nasty surprise.  But it does seem like there is a
dual responsibility here, a big part of which lies with the IRS, but also to
an extent with the blind taxpayer.
