I was spoiled by a really great branch USPS office at my former home in Roanoke, Virginia; the one here in Chester, Virginia, is a hell-hole by comparison. For the all of it, even parcel post shipments to the Flyover states get there in two or three days. To put it in basic terms, think up a better system, and the word will beat a path to your door. You and I cannot do so, so why not hold our peace and avoid cheap shots at the Post Office? Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
