What if it is USPS who messes up, though, and delivers it to the wrong address, even though the address on the package is correct?

Even more confusing, what if the package is FROM the USPS, is addressed to someone else, but accidentally delivered to you?

You are not allowed to open someone else’s mail, even if it’s in your mailbox.

For mail with someone else's name on it, sure. But in this case, the "mail" had my name on the front, back and side... plus a username and password that only I know. So yeah, not sure that really applies here.

OT but replying here hoping that you see it rather than a new top-level comment on this deservedly popular article.

This is a fascinating blog and I hope you have the time to do and write more articles like this one!

Thank you! I genuinely appreciate the kind words. I'm hopeful I'll have the next one out by the end of the year. A less successful story, but it's a good'n.
