I think you're missing the OP's point. He isn't suggesting ending postal service, but coming up with new and better services instead of trying to scare people away from email. For many people, the post office is just an incredibly slow, junk mail delivery system. If you care about the USPS, I'm surprised you don't agree with the OP that new ideas are needed. (One idea i'd like to see is a registered email service, so you know an email was received. The post office has the public's trust to pull this off.)

Slow it isn't. Go ahead and try having UPS or FedEx deliver a letter across the country in about 5 days--for $.41.So let's give credit where credit is due. USPS is screwed by the changes and they are doing what every business does, try to look better by a combination of making themselves look better and making their competitors look worse. I am not sure if USPS will manage, they have to do certain things by law, so the Feds will probably end up subsidizing them.
