Just to add to the dismantling: our US PO does a phenomenal job over a huge geographical scale at a very reasonable cost. Heck, it costs more to mail a letter from Brussels to Paris than it costs to mail a letter from San Francisco to Paris! That is incredible! Plus every mail delivery person I’ve ever had has been cheerful, helpful, and generally exceedingly nice.

In fact, I always leave Christmas cookies for my postperson. Do you, Lanzman?
