Some prefer TOTV type interactions or electronic communication. I brought this point up in a different post recently...when was the last time someone had their identity stolen or account hacked or compromised using snail mail? Sure we're all vulnerable but again, lets have a balance....and not make it so easy for those who have different intent

Mailing checks are different. I dislike having to get checks in the mail, instead of direct deposit, & I hate having to send a check through the mail. I always fret that it will be stolen en route. In the days when all bills were paid by sending a check through the mail, you stood a chance that yours would get through the crush, now they are infrequent so stand out & are more vulnerable.
