Going postal

Rueters is reporting that a report prepared for the US Postmaster shows that US postal workers are no more susceptable to violence than anybody else in the US workforce. What got me was this quote from Joseph Califano, chairman of the U.S. Postal Service Commission on a Safe and Secure Workplace:
"'Going postal' is a myth, a bad rap causing unnecessary apprehension and fear among 900,000 postal workers," Califano said in a statement Thursday accompanying the report.
"This report should shatter the myth that postal workers are more violent than other workers and discourage the pejorative use of that expression."
Okay, Joe, if you believe that a myth can be shattered that easily there's this email tax you and I need to discuss.
