Re: full mailboxes (was 'angry protests')


Not to rub it in, and certainly not to make Cali feel worse than she does, 
but several people are questioning the 'angry protests'.  Rather than 
repost those protests (most sent to me instead of the group), let me show 
the unfortunate result of this kind of situation:

I am also fortunate that it did not bother mine.  I'm sure many of these 
people will not be able to get into their mailboxes at all because of this 
problem, so I expect I will get a few more 'angry protests'.  We're trying 
to have this group be about mutual respect and cooperation.  We should not 
discriminate against those who do not have systems which are not bothered 
by this type of event.
