| Address may be a mail drop All this brouhaha about the address may be moot.
I worked for a computer time-sharing company in DC in the 80s, and they wanted to do a mass mailing, so they got a copy of a local trade association's membership list (legit) and proceeded to print labels.
We soon found out we needed to do a "merge and purge" run on the list, as there were many companies with the same address except for the suite number. One of our salesmen stopped by one of the addresses, and found a low-rent building with one office that collected and sorted the mail. Meetings were held either in a suite there, or in meeting spaces in a local hotel.
