Hmmmm?! Since your thesis is totally dependent on how many postal workers there were in 2001, let's take a look at the statistics.

This site looks pretty good:

The count was 891,005 employees of all types in 2001.

I'm afraid YOU LOSE.

Ed, you may now release all the other secret information everyone involved in turning over the anthrax case traces has acquired over the last 6.5 years. This guy seems to need "REDUCATION".

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

The U.S. Postal Service employed 75,000 clerks; 335,000 mail carriers; and 209,000 mail sorters, processors, and processing machine operators in 2004.

That equals 619,000. The informatin is here.

You lose.

I stand by my original critique of hyperbole filled bloviation.

You're full of crap.
