Al,

  Could not help but reply. I share your frustration. I mailed a letter
at the post office to a ham friend in Switzerland. It showed up in MY
mailbox 3 days later. When I complained to Postal Supervisor I got
numerous excuses like it was rejected from the zip machine & returned to
them. I then asked, if you had to sort it, I assume someone read the
address. What would posess the letter carrier to deliver it to the return
address because I obviously do not live in Switzerland. I got the reply
"we had a new letter carrier on your route that day".   Another gem: I
initiated a tracer to the IRS when my income tax return got lost.  2 days
later, the tracer addressed to the IRS ends up in my mail box.  When I
hand carrried it back to the PO that initiated the tracer to ask why it
ended up in my mail box, about 3 or 4 clerks overheard me, said "it
wasn't me", and left the room. The supervisor just looked at me with a
blank stare.  Here in Dc area we have lots of marginal english speaking
Latinos, Orientals etc.  You get the picture???  Get someone outside of
Georgia to mail your letter. It might get thru>>   GL & 73 Al W3AWU
