Please list your questions you have actually sent in to "ASK the COO" here, so we all can see the questions that the USPS will avoid answering, or if the wording to our questions are changed.

Where does this privilege exist? I didn't know we could address the gods directly.

I wonder if we used our usernames as names, and Rural Mail Talk as location?
When was the last time you actually sorted and delivered mail?
When was the last time you sought the opinions of clerks and carriers?...You know...the people who actually deliver the mail.
I'll ask these as soon as I can figure out how to be anonymous....
COO might like real questions but the miscreants between him and us have no sense of humor and would unleash their own version of the dogs of war on anyone so impertinent to ask a good question.

Create a throwaway email address. Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, you can make as many of those as you want...for free. If you're worried about them finding your IP, just use a proxy. If you hunt around there are some programs that will do that, that have a trial period, so you don't have to pay for it. If you have to put in an actual geographic location, just make something up...like you're in Timbuktu.
If you're still paranoid about it. Start out asking questions that they won't be offended by, see how that goes, then go from there.

It seems like you can preserve anonymity either on the forum or in the questions. Here's what I just sent...
<blockquote>
Mr. Williams, as you may know, the USPS has recognized the need for new LLV's as the current model is loud, uncomfortable, inefficient, unsafe, and costly. Why has a more timely rollout of these new trucks not been higher on the priority list for the USPS?

Didn't we read recently that the USPS was gonna actively monitor and maybe even start responding on PO related social media sites... maybe Mr. Williams will log in right here at the good ole Rural Mail Talk site, and just start chatting away... <img title="Surprised" alt="Surprised" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-surprised.gif" />

I received this e-mail today (attached as an image file). I'm sure that this is the last I'll hear from them about it. Yes, I used my real name, zip code, and email address. No, I don't care what they think of it.

I think I speak for the entire rural carrier craft when I ask "where does the mail actually go during mail count periods?" We all know it disappears somehow or another.

My guess is that's all the "answer" you'll ever get from them... and I'm surprised you even got that... <img title="Surprised" alt="Surprised" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-surprised.gif" />

Hm, I didn't get a reply either. Even checked the spam folder, where I found I've been send a check of 8.3 billion USD by a barrister named David Mark.

No fear. They're using the same system the SPM location alert uses.
They'll never find you.
