Print the weight of a form somewhere on the back (or front, I'm not fussy) to give people an idea of how much postage they will need to pay to send the dratted thing back.
Better yet would be a picture of the stamps you would need. (Which would work if the form had to be returned fairly promtly
and is changed from year to year).
It only sounds like a rant.

$1.08 + shipping, how ever much that is. [Worldgineer, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

sorry, I'd spend the money on promoting online forms |

Some forms you need to sign. |

I don't think this idea is terribly useful, as:
1. You'd need to know the weight of your envelope, ink, and stamps (funny, that).
2. You'd need to have a cost table for weights (not that this is so difficult in the information age, but still an issue).
3. The beaurocracy that created the form would need to worry about issues such as paper thickness and density, and couldn't switch paper suppliers easily. |

sure, but not indefinitely |

I suppose you could build scales in to printers and print the weight of each page on each printed page and/or the total weight on the final page of each document. Then, if it's being printed with an address, have the printer also calculate the current cost of mailing the form back. |

Well if you had a scale you wouldn't need any of this. |
