MTAs deliver stuff, real fast. but they're real dumb. You have to
tell them exactly what to deliver, and so the MLM has to hand off
finished pieces. think of the MTA as the fedex delivery truck. it
doesn't address boxes or tape the packages or fill them with popcorn
worms. All that is done in the warehouse of the shipper -- and that's
the MLM. It goes on the truck, and the truck speeds away into the
sunset with your package, and all you have is a tracking number...
