I could rant for hours about USPS planet codes and how busted the backend was a decade ago when I had to integrate our industrial printers and inventory tracking system into it. But it can really be summed up with this: they used local time for timestamps and neglected to record the offset from UTC... you wouldn't believe how many time zones there are in the continental United States. It was almost like the indian reservations had it out for programmers, with their totally capricious clock changes.
