Where is McLean? (Or Oakton, Potomac, Great Falls, Bethesda, etc.?) It's wherever the Postal Service says it is, unless you are referring specifically to the limits of an incorporated municipality (and even then, the USPS can make it larger than the town/city limits, as it has with Fairfax and Vienna). And the USPS can move you on a moment's notice to another postal delivery address. (This can even cost you money, if your insurance people aren't really savvy, as much insurance rating is based on the ZIP code where you live. When I lived in Philadelphia, my house was really in Blue Bell, about 2.5 miles north of the borough limits for Norristown, but I had a N'town mailing address because the BB post office was too small to handle the large rental townhouse development where I resided. That caused some of my neighbors to suffer from inflated insurance premiums, due to the high level of crime in N'town. I was with State Farm and they knew better.) -- The Next Challenge - Public Access Unix in Northern Va. - Washington D.C. 703-803-0391 To log in for trial and account info.
