I don't think they're so much cameos as just parts of Ankh-Morpork which have grown to the point where you can't weave a significant plot through the city without bumping into them. I, for one, am always glad to see them. :P
"Going Postal" is certainly One Of The Good Ones. I like it better than "The Truth", if only becaue Moist is such a delight (if you'd told me before I read Pratchett that I'd have a crush on a guy named Moist... *sheepish*) and Adora Belle Dearheart is one of my favorite of Pratchett's women.
I LOVED what you're calling the mystical elements of the book. The tradition of "sending home" and "they're never really dead as long as their names are spoken" made me rather misty-eyed.
And... so THAT'S what's up with twelve-and-a-half percent! *shakes head* A rocket wizard at math, I am most certainly not.
