    The paper has just announced that from now on, if you stop home delivery for vacations or whatever, you will only get a credit, that is, you won't be charged, if said stoppage is for three weeks or more. Three week vacations rare in workaday world. What a ripoff! Anyone who responds by stopping home delivery permanently can only be congratulated.

    Washington Post has been doing that for at least a couple of years. Total bullshit. To add insult to injury, I have an incompetent carrier who doesn't honor vacation holds, so I always come home to the paper on my doorstep, advertising that no one's home.

    Newspapers still think their customers can't do without them, despite what's going on for 20 years of evidence they sure as hell can.

    Maybe Brian McGrory's "thought leaders" came up with that one.
