OK. Lot of e-mails on my previous post about the post office and healthcare. Apparently readers are unable to comment on the blog. Since Typepad changed their platform to compose posts this has been a recurring problem. I have always kept comments open and unmoderated. Will ask Typepad to look into this again. The good news is there are no spam comments either.
