Seeing as the world's postal systems are key to the success of InCoWriMo, I thought this might be a good subforum for this post. However, I'm completely new here, so if I'm mistaken, please do let me know.
I just listened to an excellent episode (http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-revolutionary-post/) of a podcast, 99% Invisible, that goes into the history of the USPS and how interwoven in to the idea of America it is. A fascinating 20 minutes with so much that I didn't know about the history of the USPS.
I wonder if there's a similar history with postal systems in my own country (Canada), or in other countries? I'm inspired to find more information, but would gladly welcome any references from other members.
Happy hump-day everyone!
