I agree. But have also been so thankful to PO people over the years who have 
given me my packages when they have been closed to the public.  You can't 
count on it but I have knocked at the back door asked many a time. They have 
a perfect right to ignore me or say no and never have. Twice though I have 
had a Postmaster come close to refusing to give me a box that was sent to my 
trail name. This happened even though they had other mail with both names on 
it.  I carefully now use my birth name even though I don't use it on much 
else(only when legally required to like on my computer). Marmot
