Don't put too much thought into how many catalogs your consume. The paper is made from trees, which grow back in a few years.

Pay attention to the plastic that you consumer because it itsn't easily bio-degradable and plastic fills up the nation's garbage dumps. But consuming paper and paper products is about as enviro-friendly as it gets. Heck, if you put a catalog in your backyard, it would be completely broken down by the sun/rain within 3 months.

I love it. I save it. I always find items in the print catalog that I miss online.

It is also an incredible resource for learning about a variety hobby-related stuff. The research and knowledge that goes into in phenomenal.

After a long, sleepless night our new REA baby arrived this morning on the front doorstep weighing in at a healthy 6 pounds. Both proud father and new arrival are doing well today.

Same here, Jim. I spot so many items in the catalog that escaped my eye when first viewing online...I love paging thru the "book".

Yeah, I always get a kick out of the tree comments. If you want to complain about waste, go after the fuel used to create things...any things.

It's also tricky to complain about the cost of creating these catalogs being passed on to the customers. Advertising is typically thought of as something that increases sales, and increased sales can mean lower costs to customers. But I'll never win that argument with this crowd, as everything's about the AH's screwing the world, right?

And that is pretty significant coming from someone named 'Forrest'

And there has to be some irony on a person commenting on a name that goes by the alias of Batman?

There has to be something I can say based on your last name, but it eludes me.

That's pretty funny. You are quite a 'Joker'

My neighbors often ask me why I leave our Christmas decorations up until May. I simply point my just arrived REA catalog and shake my head in disappointment. Some people just don't get it.

There's a fair amount of Jet-A and Diesel fuel required to move these mammoth's around the U.S. And I'm darn glad as a COLLECTOR and 28 year UPS employee that they still print 'em..............
