[atlarge-discuss] Re: apology required



Joanna:

Your negative comments about the limitations of ID requirements at the Post
Office are all repeats of what I and others have stated earlier.

Every discussion I have referred to has been about Sotiris' determination
that he could verify a member by sending a RESTRICTED DELIVERY letter
including a secret code to a mailing address provided by that member.

My response to Sotiris' excuses for reneging on his promise to send a
RESTRICTED DELIVERY letter to JW is [referenced below]

You replied to that response which included the specific term "RESTRICTED
DELIVERY LETTER" by stating

You are incorrect in stating that the owner of the box gets all mail sent to
that address.  The owner will not receive any mail that carries the
RESTRICTED DELIVERY add-on service.  What the owner will get is a card to
take to the counter where they must prove their Identity before the postal
item is delivered.

You are correct in stating that a RESTRICTED DELIVERY letter does not have
to be registered. The RESTRICTED DELIVERY service is available for most
types of mail, including any first class letter.

When you replied to a message that specifically and only refers to a secret
code being sent in a RESTRICTED DELIVERY LETTER to a mailbox, with a
statement that specifically asks me to send such a letter to your mailbox so
that you can prove how you can get at the secret code inside such a letter,
then it is reasonable to assume that you are casting doubt on the RESTRICTED
DELIVERY method of verification (registered or not) that is the basis of
this entire thread.

I cannot imagine that an intelligent person with no motivation to muddy the
water would subsequently write to say that although she responded to my
discussion of the RESTRICTED DELIVERY verification system, she was really
writing about a totally different subject. And when she challenged me to let
her show me how she could retrieve a secret code from such a letter, she did
not really mean to say that she could retrieve the secret code from such a
letter. But that she could only do so if the letter was sent with a
different method of delivery.

Now, Joanna, either you did try to introduce the different method of
delivery in order to assist and support those among us who are searching for
ways not to have to verify Jeff Williams, or you wrote about something that
has nothing whatsoever to do with the post to which you replied.

Please let me know which it is, so that I know whether or not to "demand an
apology" from you.
