[OKDXA] IRC's going away?

[W5LE - Gene Lewis]

I think what I find comical about this story (their claim that there's not 
enough demand for IRC'S)
is that, if you walk into a post office and ask for some of them, you're 
likely to get a blank "Duh, what is that?" stare.  I had an occasion when I 
was in the Glenpool post office one day and when I told the lady at the 
front desk, "maybe you could check with the postmaster on this", the reply I 
got was, "I am the Postmaster".  If their own people don't know what they 
are, or what to do with them, should it be any wonder they're not doing a 
robust business with them?
I think I see fund transfer services like PayPal coming more into the 
international arena if IRC's go away.  Perhaps it's just as well.
