Please tell me there is a rational reason for this opinion. I'd love to hear it.

What is wrong with receiving small items by USPS?

Depends on the device. Some hardware has a physical keyboard, some don't.

It took a lot of convincing for me to go to a device with only a virtual keyboard. But now that I'm used to it, honestly, I'm fine just having the virtual keyboard. The phone is a lot lighter as a result, and most of the device's real estate is dedicated to the screen, where it's really needed.

Social Media 101 for Corporations.

The internets can be a very powerful tool to create a constructive dialogue with customers and vendors. However, when responding on behalf of the company (either as an official self-ID'ed representative of the brand, or simply a known member of that organization) be very careful about saying fundamentally wrong things.

I have to give CO and SPG credit on this front. They are very thorough, consistent, and deliberate in their messaging and communication.

Here's an example of a fail.

The departure sequence came and went with about the same necessity as ATL Terminal B Popeyes.

In an attempt to find a definition of the term "nooner" for Mackie I ended-up being sucked into the vortex of an encyclopedia article about the evolution of Canadian punk rock radio stations.

Le sigh.

There is a Popeyes in ATL-D that is arguably just as bad. Walked off the plane in EWR, beelined it to the men's room, and thought of you as I was doing so, knowing that it was stupid to have gone to Popeyes in ATL.

Won't ever happen, until we invent teleportation. Too many remote/rural communities depend on the USPS for affordable shipping. Yes, it is subsidized, but those rural states have voters and senators, and enough of them to prevent the USPS from being dismantled.

If the USPS were done away with, many small communities would be left without meaningful access to shipping services.
