DVDs, USPS, and address labels, oh my!
Over on the Hacking Netflix blog, there's a post about a frequent contributor named Manuel, who seems to think that Netflix has horrid service, to the extent of talking to lawyers who refuse to take the case, and yet continues to subscribe to the service.

Manuel reasons that if your DVD arrives with a return envelope that isn't going to your local Netflix processing center, you can save a few days on the turnaround by creating your own address label.

Commenters beg to disagree, saying that the DVDs go to whatever your local processing center is anyway, but others argue back. The best part is when someone claiming to be a USPS employee, who says that all major processing centers toss the Netflix envelopes into a bin and return them to the local center, is flatly contradicted by someone who is, well, not a USPS employee. Argument and Google-fu also ensues on whether the USPS is run by the US government, not run by the US government, or just lightly overseen by the US government.
