Well, my response to that is, we surely can't run the system indefinitely
on ignorance on either side of the mailing.

These "Forever" stamps have been there for two postage rate cycles now.  I
have been able to buy them not just at "changeover" time, but all the
time.  My favorite postage machine dispenses no other first class stamps.

One must be careful to get the right ones, though.  There apparently were
"liberty bell" types that were not the "forever" variety.  Perhaps it is
we, not the "buro" managers that are sometimes at fault ??

There is surely no bigger hassle to running a bureau (DX or domestic) than
postage increases and the problem of un-mailable envelopes they create. 
Hard to believe they aren't paying attention to this.

The various "buros" I work with seem to recognize them just fine.

When I provide the real thing.

At any rate, it costs nothing for me to try.
