This is an excellent idea!

Why not just make a pdf or a copy paste version? I get suspicious when extra work is done to make worse ux; my assumption is that it rarely happens without a hidden incentive.
I think part of the package is the official-looking envelope from the LLP, transparent window and all. It won't have the same effect if you just download a PDF, print it out, and mail it in a generic envelope with a handwritten address on it.
Fair enough, although I'd love to see that as an upsell instead.

#85As a business owner, I can tell you certain letters have a look to them before opened and can trigger anxiety and “heart skip a beat.” A letter looking like its from a law firm is going to trigger concern and even calling an attorney. Not fun to then have the rug pulled out. Reminds me of the terrible pranksters who worry people and then say “it’s just a prank.”
Really? I think most people get plenty of benign letters from law firms. I do for things like consumer class action lawsuits I’m eligible to join, and stuff related to getting paid for things I invented….

#86Very funny, completely American, mostly unrelatable for the rest of the world. Please continue and persist.

Like sending you gifts via Amazon? Or exposing your address when then send any mail at all? Your address is public record this seems like not something you need to concerned about.
I honestly feel a little creeped out when someone gives out my address to Amazon without my consent, even if it is to send me a gift. Even though Amazon already has my address, this feels different somehow and crosses a small boundary.
I don’t feel creeped out at all. Please send gifts. But if you think someone might feel weird, the name you use doesn’t need to be real. I send my stepmom things addressed as Nana. You can also use random dumb names like Birthday Boy Dave or Donkey Face Smith.

#88As someone who is coming to increasingly believe that 99% of the world problems are caused by powers seeking to intentionally divide us one from the other, I cannot tell you how much joy this brings me to see. I wish you great success in this effort, however small it might appear to be in the scheme of things.
I agree so much, but the pessimist in me says that this isn't _really_ free, and I don't want to plug in a cool person's info without knowing who the info is being sold to. If this was publicly available document so I could fill in the missing bits, I'd send a dozen of these tomorrow.
it truly is free hahah we're using some free survey website plan and then Mark would fill in a template in google docs, print, and post the official letter. I think we hit our limit on the form though. We didn't expect it to blow up! Mark is gonna kill me when he checks his email

#89On a few occasions I’ve called the phone number on a professional vehicle’s “how’s my driving?” bumper sticker to report the driver for good driving. It’s always a fun experience.
Amazing idea. I’m sure the person on the line is… not used to this.
I remember one time having a super helpful person at Home Depot walk me through a home project I needed some advice on so I asked to talk to their manager to compliment/thank them.
After a few minutes the manager came over and looked so ready for me to berate them about something only to look incredibly shocked that I was actually complimenting the service I had just received. Was nice for everyone.

karma is definitely a reddit term. but besides that, nothing wrong with using reddit
It started out on slashdot, the forum that invented the entire concept back in the late 90s.
It's still around, and looks alive.
I remember when Slashdot introducing the karma cap, far below my then extant karma. It mostly made karma farming irrelevant.
I also like their mod points plus meta moderation approach.
