What's the BFD with accepting only electronic logs these daze?

Our local club would bundle a bunch of logs and send all in a single envelope.  They went certified when I did the bundling.  Spread out a $5 Certification Fee among 10 ops and that's a big $0.50 extra per log.  Just an idea.

If/when only electronic logs are sent, there is reduced opportunity to stuff a $ or $$ into to the log package for the sponsoring club.  NARC has expenses for paper, postage, etc.; I'm sure that the donations help the club cover some of these costs.  Sure, NARC could accept PayPal, but that adds to the administrative load on their end and, shockingly, not everybody uses PayPay.

Well, That would mean you'd spend >$5.00 postage these daze for 
ertification that a contest log arroved on time?  Why knot change it so 
he mail goes to the scoring team first, and then to the money bags.  
r, don't you trust the scoring team to not snarf some of the $$'s donated?
What's the BFD with accepting only electronic logs these daze?  I'd say 
hat the number of hams who do NOT have a computer is vanishingly 
mall.  It is reported that >95% of the general population has a 
omputer, and hams are generally more technologically savvy that the 
eneral dolts.  Why do some folks insist on sending hand written logs 
ia the U.S. Postal Service?

p.s. A return receipt from the IRS doesn't guarantee that you won't get 
inged.  I was with a non-profit organization a few years back which had 
 SNAFU with several years in a row of misplaced IRS 900 forms, and, 
ven though we had documentation that one piece of mail was delivered 
isputing a >$2000 penalty, we ended up paying it.

 If I am concerned about something being received (contest log, IRS 1040, etc.)  
 send it by CERTIFIED US Mail.

 The sending receipt is proof of mailing before the deadline.

 The postal return receipt is acknowledgement of delivery.
