Joe: I understand that, and I actually thought both articles were amusing -- if not, I wouldn't have mentioned them. But it is a little weird to see feature articles giving dating advice. I generally think it should be left to the experts, i.e. Carolyn Hax.
Mad: Despite the fact that my dad worked for a very large east coast newspaper company for many years, I have become an online reader. Undoubtedly, that's what is driving down his stock value.
But it's not like the papers really care about my $.25 per day. It's all about the advertising. And, quite frankly, I rarely even notice it -- except for that gross ad about toenail fungus.
Ah, but they do care about your $0.25 because the more people who shell out the quarters (50 cents where I live) the more they can charge for gross toe nail fungus ads. Kill a tree, buy a newspaper!

Isn't that also why they now make you register to use the newspaper sites?
