The following is a quote from this site:

First I must admit I like the US Post Office. I like getting letters. I like putting letters in the mail knowing that they just about always get there. I like the people who deliver the mail. Most of the people who work in post offices are polite and friendly. I also think that the Post Office is one of the clearest examples of an effective government agency - requires no taxes and delivers for 32 cents what Federal Express charges several dollars for within many cities.
Second, I am disgusted with the term, "snail mail" which has developed on the Internet for postal mail. Even reputable organizations and people who should know better use this term. The term is degrading and condescending (as your mail carrier what he/she thinks). My goal is to stamp out this term so that only the most immature and juvenile of those online will continue to use it. Stamp out the term "snailmail"

While email is great, it will never replace the feeling of receiving a hand written card in the mail.
