[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 913310, member: 60724"] Bill V, I think you are mincing some things. Are USPS workers government employees? Yes or No? Is the USPS an agency of the federal government, independent or otherwise? Yes or No? Is the USPS sponsored in large part by tax dollars? Yes or No? Quotes from the USPS website: Also, is their website: usps.com, or usps.gov? Walks like, talks like a duck to me. So, YES, I guess the issue is the choice of the words: "run by the feds". True, the USPS is not RUN BY THE FEDS, per say, depending on what your definition of "run" is. But to that end, nor is GM "run" by our government; nor is Amtrack. But all of these are sponsored by our government, propped up by our tax dollars and therefore not playing at the same rules and on the same playing field as their truly independent public business competitors. I think that was the main point; that these govt sponsored agencies can't and don't even need to compete with their public competitors. Gravitating towards a single word a person says and pouncing on it without asking a clarifying question is really bad form, IMHO, and a sign of disrespect, and leads to the hostile environment we see here often.
