This raises a question that has bothered me for some time: Why do we store
town and state anymore? Zip code does it all, doesn't it?
I'm not sure... but isn't nice to have belt -and- suspenders?
What I object to is companies that run their address lists through
automated 'correction routines' to validate zip vs address.
I was assigned a new PO box number by the post office. Now whenever
"they" validate my address, they assume that the box is correct and
the city/state/zip is not. They 'correct' the city/state/zip, which
routes the mail to the neighboring town. Fortunately, the PO is
friendly, and forwards it to me anyway.
I realize that the PO wants to make things as efficient and error
free as possible, and encourage companies to 'normalize' their
address lists, but 'assuming' which part of the address is correct is
incorrect!
