To make life easier for users, how about naming them -turbo, -normal,

most people, so that's another argument against trying to make -compact
stamps faster. Especially if it would potentially make -turbo slower.
if we have three types of stamps, it's important to characterize the
cost differential between them especially when receiving filters must
recognize all three forms. If people start using slow/compact stamps
and do not have an economically appropriate postage level, spammers will
gain an advantage and use fast stamps to increase their delivery rate
which increases the number of responses and correspondingly their revenue.

The basis of Abelard's philosophy, which he taught to Heloise, was
that logic had to be applied to religion in order to arrive at the
truth.
