This is the bill pushed by the Triad delegation on behalf of a local retired business magnate who thinks high school kids aren’t learning what they need about civics in high school.That prompted the following email exchange:
Me: Hi Mark,"Would you like to buy an ad on our website, ma'am? We try to steer people away from it, taunt them for using it and in various and sundry other ways make it less inviting so, whaduya say?"
Who is the "local retired business magnate who thinks high school kids aren’t learning what they need about civics in high school?"
Mark: Gee, Roch, if you were a print subscriber you'd know.
P.S. David Stedman.
Me: Do your online advertisers know you taunt your online readers for accessing an admittedly inferior version of your product?
Mark: I have no idea. I've never been one to worry about advertisers.
What I DO know is that you are someone who frequently writes to ask questions that are already asked and answered in a product that you refuse to buy.
Me: I think you are a little old fashion if you are acutely aware of subscribers as revenue but unconcerned with online advertising.
Round II
