I'm not sure what the picture that the footnote 1 links to is supposed to prove. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:11, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Then why did you link to it? :-) (The edit history shows it to be your addition.) But seriously, I can see it as an example of a modern pen cancel, shows it's not something that just happened in the old days, and clues in someone mystified by the occasional random scribbling they see on their mail.

[edit] apartment mailbox

In several US apartment that I have lived in, mailings from within the complex (typically office to resident), have been pen cancelled but delivered to my mailbox. Is this due to a USPS rule, and is it done by the office or the postal service? Should this article mention anything along these lines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.30.21 (talk) 01:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
