there's also an opportunity to have the community have another
look at the area surrounding the nodes. It's only ~4600 items: <a

By far the majority of post_boxes in the USA have no operator tag:
6871 by my count. These are highly likely to be the USPS blue boxes
but of course it's better not to assume that. They'd be a good
candidate for a community review.<br>
<br>
For those tagged with an operator, most are one of the many
variations on the US Postal Service name:<br>
3609 * usps<br>
199 *us postal service<br>
125 * u.s. postal service<br>
12 * us post<br>
11 * united states postal service (used to be popular before Leif's
mass edit)<br>
4 * us mail (some older post boxes still say this on the side)<br>
1 * united states postal office<br>
1 * usps express mail<br>
1 * usps.com<br>
<br>
No doubt I've missed a few variations. There are also many (hard to
count) where the name of the local post office branch is used for
the operator.<br>
<br>
Then we have the familiar shipping companies:<br>
202 * ups<br>
47 * united parcel service<br>
4 * ups store<br>
1 * the ups store<br>
206 * fedex<br>
9 * federal express<br>
1 * fedex office<br>
3 * dhl<br>
<br>
Most of the rest are typos or questionable data. One instance of
"multi" and one of "UPS; DHL; FedEx"... I've never seen a postal box
with multiple operators in real life; my guess would be it's a few
boxes next to each other.<br>
