Re: shipping

        I agree.  I have been shipping with no label too- quite
successfully.  When I said a "live fish" label might be a good idea it was
in direct response to a question about what we might do if the USPS goes to
universal irradiation treatment of all mail.  Under that circumstance, some
kind of alternative system would have to be arranged or we wouldn't be able
to ship our fish any more.
