[Milsurplus] Media Mail again!

[Hue Miller]

I got a reply years ago by just writing to the "Postmaster General, 
Washington D.C."
Perhaps naïve, but it worked.
It would not work, of course, for "Joe Schmoe, Washington D.C."
It is harder for them to toss or delete a paper letter.
It just occurred to me, I could send it "Delivery Confirmation  Required."

This whole issue reminds me that I was going to write, as in "write
on actual paper", to the Postmaster General to urge for a clear and
definitive ruling on this, and one that is applied uniformly.  Maybe i
will even finally get on this now that I've been reminded. I was thinking
paper, because hopefully, it would be less easy for some underling to
intercept and delete.

OK, what is the Postmaster General's address?  Look it up.  I mean besides 
Washington, D. C.?  Zip code??  Not specified anywhere I could find about 15 
years ago when we were stuck wth these 911 address changes.  I did find an 
internal USPS publication posted online which led me finally to the "Address 
Quality Unit", and some lady in D. C. at an 1-800 number.  When I read the 
911 district letter, cosigned by the local USPS main office by the way, she 
laughed when I gave her my assigned address, and said to me, "That is not a 
legitimate address.  No wonder your mail doesn't come".  I'll stop there, 
but I have an inch thick stack of correspondence on the issue of whether 160 
CR 375 is or is not a legitimate address.  It is now, likely because of all 
the nasty letters I wrote.  But at the time, 32 of the 32 makers of mail 
sorting software interpreted CR as Circle, and I lost about $10,000 in 
checks, materials and potential business before it got settled.
