What's the status of private mail & package drops in Europe? I recall
decades ago, when folks who led a sort of transient lifestyle would use a
local tobacco shop as their "mail drop"/forwarding service. In the US, we
have in big cities, large privately owned mail box providers (some of
which
offer forwarding). The "mail drop" was once an effective method of
concealing one's address.


Remember ads for remailing services in old men's mags like _Argosy_ and such
that had addresses like "Drawer 36, Chicago 11, Illinois"...???

Coke doesn't contain any lemon, as far as I know. Pepsi is the drink
that uses citric acid and thus has a fruitier taste. Coke probably
contains some notes of orange, though.

The main ingredients are well known. In fact, the "cola" taste is
primarily vanilla and cinnamon.

Increasing, thanks to the Web--but France is thirty years behind, so it
will be a while before things improve in France.

One can still have a post-office box--but couriers won't deliver to it.

I doubt that. There's nothing harmful or disagreeable in them.
