    I'd be very interested to see the stats on how many dropped subscribers start reading the Trib online. My guess is very few. 1. I'll bet they're older people. 2. They don't want my business? Fuck 'em! Not logical but human.

    They send copies of the trib to us in Escanaba, Mich. I don't know if we're on the cut list, but it seems to make a lot more sense than getting rid of Peoria et al.

    What? Don't they get the Internet in Peoria?

    That was beautiful, Slap, but probably only appreciated by a few of us.

    You can't get the Trib in Holland already. That's only 100 miles or so away. Meanwhile, you can find copies of the Freep and the DetNews EVERYWHERE.

    Some day, I hope our children view that movie the way we view "Song of the South" today. :D
