Rex Kickass Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 This could cost me upwards of 20 cents a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait for the Minutemen to leave. BTW, do you think being called Minutemen is helping them get laid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 In defense of the US Postal service it is easily the best on the world and amazingly cheap for everyone. They can load up an airplane for New York to Chicago mail. But imagine that I can mail a letter in Los Fresnos, Texas and send it to Sleeping Bear, Alaska for .37 I'll bet that may be the only letter in the history of the world between those two places. What really saves us is the bulk mailers. When you receive three or four pieces of direct mail, that pays the bills every day, the first class stuff is subsidized, in part, by the business mail.

Rex Kickass Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 (edited) The post office got a lot better in the late 1990's. I was sending mail from Ohio for my Scouting organization in 1995. One out of every seven mailings never made it to the address. Edited April 10, 2005 by winodj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 When I was playing postal chess, in the pre-internet days, a requirement was to track time. I was surprised how consistent the Post Office was. Rarely did a piece of mail vary by more than one day. I remember a guy I was playing in Sandusky, OH. Every card took exactly 3 days to him. I have never had a piece of mail missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Postal Chess? LMAO. I move my queen one square up and to the right. Check. Your move, asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'm sorry, that square is closed, you'll have to move your queen to the back of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW, Kap, there is standard chess notation; you probably meant to write Qe2 The only difference between this and that was the post were slower to be read. Making friends, enjoying a shared interest. It was the precursor to Internet message boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
