<br>
I kinda disagree. Postcodes won't be neutral, because (as we've seen from<br>
previous conversations) post offices/agencies tend to squeeze money from that<br>
kind of data if they can.<br>
<br>
Call me crazy, but I think beer (with local breweries and more than one brand,<br>
AFAIK) might be the most neutral commodity for this scenario, as it reaches<br>
and is demanded by illiterate population (unlike post!).<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm thinking crazy experiments such as "beer census" - fill a form that comes<br>
with the beer cases, those get bundled up the hierarchy, then you compile the<br>
info, then you can send one free **addressed beer** back to everyone. All of a<br>
sudden you create a demand for addressability.<br>
<br>
<br>
Of course, people in the ground will have the best knowledge, but I stand in<br>
my point: it's unwise to consider post offices/agencies the prime (or only)<br>
source for any kind of survey of area codes.<br>
