I realize the importance of advertising in the BND. I'm sure it is appreciated by some. Is there a shortage of journalists? Readers don't get near the articles with substance as in the past. I feel the cost of the BND justifies more than we are getting.

The pounds and pounds of inserts delivered Thanksgiving Day is an example. I hope the delivery personnelwere adequately compensated for that super-sized, weighty paper.
