why do we call normal post snailmail ?WARSAW (Reuters) - It's official. Postal delivery is as slow as snails, at least in Poland.
An IT worker, after receiving a letter on January 3 that was sent on December 20 as priority mail, calculated that a snail would have made it even faster to his home than the letter.
Daily Gazeta Wyborcza said Michal Szybalski calculated that it took 294 hours for the letter to arrive at his home. He also said the distance between his home and the sender was 11.1 kilometers.
Given the distance and the time, the speed of the letter was 0.03775 kilometers per hour. Szybalski calculated that a garden snail travels at around 0.048 kilometers per hour.

i know it might come as a shock but i use zee internet also for something else then games or pr0n .
read reuters online newspaper or get a personal igoogle page and fill it with with snippets of odd news websites . one page lots a crazy stories even if untrue you had a laugh .
some of the best i post here because i just wanna share it like good stoies in the pub . gotta keep the publics alive if you wanna learn to know the other members from other games . you can't game together but a good laugh or some smack talking can form a bond for others games .
all i am saying that you guys take the no spamming request a little to serious . way better then expected , now we ve come to static pages .
it s always nice to find out our recruitment policy is working but use those public boards too . TFL is not only about skill it's also about fun

that is quite an amazing find tank.... mail on the east coast isnt that bad here... to mail something within town only usually takes 2 days to get to people. beyond that it takes about 4 to 5 on average...
hopefully that guys letter wasnt something very important... the use of priority mail says otherwise though

gotta remember poland is former eastern block . they might be EU now and they have worked their asses up to catch up with western europe and amerika but 60 years of communisme still leaves marks . 10 years ago they where 30 years behind now they are only ten yeas behind . give it another 10 years and you ll see polish millionairs who earned their wealth honoustly .
overhere they are know as good employees and hard workers so i am confident the postal services will clean up their act ..... eventually
