It seems like the poor OP may never get a civil, honest answer to a civil, simple question.
As expected

But not really a simple question. Reading between the lines, the OP would appear to dislike dogs being walked at the postal stations. He then goes on to challenge those dog owners to give an explanation, with a set of HIS rules to respond. I doubt the group that walks their dogs at the mailboxes would consider that a "civil question(s)" He then gave another set of HIS rules to exclude non-postal station dog walkers from replying. I was unaware that a poster could define the rules of TOTV. If he was truly looking to get a legitimate answer, there are much better ways to word the question. Perhaps "I notice some dog owners walk their dogs at the postal stations and some don't . Can people explain why they do or do not walk their dogs there?" I also think it was sort of naïve for "a long time Villager" to expect 50,000+ members of TOTV to abide by HIS rules.

But perhaps the reality of TOTV was too harsh for someone with 12 posts in 8 years, maybe I should have worded this better
