From the official USPS site:

Occasionally the US Postal Service® will add new or realign existing ZIP Code™ areas to accommodate population growth. 

New ZIP Codes are released by the District Office approximately 30 days before the ZIP Code change goes into effect.
Most large mailers (i.e., credit card or utility companies) subscribe to US Postal Service products that will reflect the ZIP Code change within three to six months from the effective date.
Friends, family and smaller businesses will have to be notified individually.
Mail with the old ZIP Code will continue to be delivered for one year.

Well, so much for that great discovery. Can I get some of that crow over here? :(

Your crap didnt work on us, now did it?

4. Let 'em run with it. Keeps it in the 'spotlight'.

Also keeps them busy running in circles, versus doing anything constructive.

9. Good answer. Perhaps we need to start "planting" such ideas over there

to keep them occupied. Give them little busy work projects, make sure they can color in the between the lines...

The little Rove in me speaking.

11. let's insert false hope

I don't have an account there any more, somehow I got banned after one post, but someone who can post there should mention some other (madeup) facts that prove it's a forgery just to keep them busy for a while.

Perhaps hint that the line spacing in the memo didn't follow the official military guidelines?

16. Then throw them a bone about the use of "CYA"

That was not offical military jargon in the early 70s, right? (Wink, wink)

Then question the paper stock.

Let them burn through paper research...

Then the ink...

That thread could live for weeks.

17. Great idea - one of them even questioned whether CYA was a term used

in the early 70s. Maybe someone could say that CYA was an expression first used in the movie "Jaws" that came out in 1975.
