Corse we have. We're just not stupid enough
to have it in the front door where anyone
can put anything they like inside the house.

Paranoia can be treated.

Taint paranoia, its common sense.

I only get post through our letter box, just like everyone I know.

What strange things do you get posted?

Stuff I buy on ebay, amazon, aliexpress etc.

Nothing strange about them.
Â*
So why are you worried about "anything" being posted through your
letterbox into your house?

I see that the Oz postal service gets a heck of a lot complaints
anyway.

Hardly surprising given the massive volume of stuff they deliver.

My wife's uncle in NSW told us about it.

'Australia Post complaints top 1 million in 2016–17, parcel delivery a
major concern'

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-0...illion/9612942


Still a tiny subset of the parcels delivered.

The only problem I have ever had in much more than half
a century now is one example of where the delivery person
didn’t bother to knock on the door to see if there was anyone
home and just put the card in the letterbox saying that they
couldn’t deliver. I heard the lid on the letterbox being closed,
found the card, rang the post office and complained and had
the manager personally deliver the parcel to me using his car.

I don't have to check a box.Â* The mail is visible on my hall carpet.

I don’t have a hall at the front door and no carpet anywhere.

And not only is the mail visible on yours, so is
anything else anyone else tosses in too. No thanks.

We've never had anything other than mail and the odd local newspaper
posted through our letter box.
Why would anyone post anything else?

Bull**** it doesn't. I've seen it in those reality cop docos.


You are either paranoid or you live amongst dodgey folk.

Neither of those is relevant.

Doesn't matter what I do, the law should never ever prevent you from
risking your own life.

That's bull**** too with those fools that trying
climbing up the outside of big multistory buildings
and jump from them with parachutes etc.

Because they might land on a crowd of people.

It's your body and you should be free to do as you wish with it.

You are now free to top yourself if you want to do that.

Yet I'm not allowed to do risky things?

Corse you are.

Then I can drive legally without a seatbelt? All it does is risk ME.

If you want to take a sailing boat out on a rough sea with an 80% chance
of drowning, then why shouldn't you?

You're free to do that too.

So why can't I drive without a seatbelt?

Because you are too stupid to use one.

I'm not paranoid enough to use one.

After you've been through a hailstorm or two, fullface helmets become
more attractive. They also keep your ears warm when it's 36 degrees.

I remember seeing those in old movies... The postman would dismount
from his horse and stuff the mail through them.

They never used horses. They walked.

http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/rfd.htm

That isn't dismounting from a horse and
those weren't used inside towns anyway.

https://uspsblog.com/mule-mail/

Mules arent horses and that isnt old movies either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_r...rican_Colonies

That isn't dismounting from a horse and posting it in
the letterbox those weren't used inside towns anyway.

http://mentalfloss.com/article/30007...elivering-mail

About halfway down there is a photo of a very basic RFD postman.

But he is moving mail between post offices, not dismounting
from the horse and posting the letters in the letterbox.

https://www.timesunion.com/local/art...rs-4348933.php

No one dismounting from his horse and
posting the letter in the letterbox there either.

They were phased out by 1962 but when I was a kid even your bread was
delivered by horse.

Same here, but that was because the horse was smart
enough to go where it was sposed to and the fella
delivering the bread just had to keep walking between
the cart and the house at every place that wanted bread.

The PHucker is too stupid to do his catalog deliverys
that way and is too poor to be able to afford a self
driving car and too stupid to have a slave driving
his wreck of a Renault Scenic too.

He is in fact the slave himself.

You want me to use a horse?!?

Nope, a self driving car. stupid.
