Greg,

Sarcasm does not matter to me, I am saying that it does not matter if your
Zip code changes, you'll have to change your address anyway so big deal you
change your GL entry as well.  Postal Codes change, but _VERY_ seldom!
Comparing it to Area Code changes is not apropos.

IP numbers change and so do alot of other things.

Just because a Zip code _MAY_ change does not mean that GL is not a good
concept, as a matter of fact, for the reasons I mentioned previously, I
think it is better.

Implying that LOC is a better concept because Lat and Long are constant are
the BIG problem that GL resolves for moving objects.

GL does a whole lot more than zip codes but many on this list are hung up on
this one point and cannot see the bigger picture. (its a shame)

As I already explained in my response to Matt C.,as to how GL is far more
sup. to LOC for moving objects. Did this letter not make the list as well?
