These people went to the same online marketing school that I've seen 
from others. Present everything BUT the price on the first page. As 
soon as I see 'free trial issues', I know I'm up for paying 
something. Turns me off right away. What are they ashamed of? Why not 
put the price out there so I don't have to go through the decision to 
go look for it and delete the page instead?

Sorry, but I don't need a weekly 'filter' of "top" stories and 
events. By the end of the week, I'm over the daily stuff. Maybe I'm 
just weird that way. I want news to still be 'new'.

Oh, and is this a print thing or online thing? I confess I clicked 
the subscription button to find out just what they are charging. Wow! 
SAVING $209 per hear on a "continuous credit card", whatever that is. 
I think they mean direct debit.

harumph!

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
