Well, the post office may be run like a private organization now, but it is still the place to get important documents from the government like draft cards, tax information, and the like. It still feels like something run by the federal government, this may be why people don't like MS advertisements there.
But yeah, this is not really a big deal.
There was a small story in PC world about Microsoft hiring people to flood various tech newsgroups with pro-MS messages in order to give the impression that many more developers were in fact using MS products than there actually were. Perhaps this is one of them, trying to invade slashdot! Since the parent was an AC as well, no one can be too carefull. I would be less vauge but that issue is in the trash and there are scary things on top of it.
