Holding the paper in your hands vs.on-line versions in important for those with chronic diseases like TB. You can just hurl your phlem balls right into the paper as you're reading.

There is still something to be said for being able to HOLD a newspaper in your hands, and no, printing out an article off the internet is NOT even the same, so don't give me that.

Good point, Hilarie. Plus, everyone I know (okay, TWO people I know) have had their laptops stolen from them while working at cafes.

You know, if you like to read news while eating at home or in a cafe or on the bus, the print edition is the most foldable and highest-resolution solution available. Plus: Flip it up to obscure your face when MR. WRONG-O appears. Try that with a MacBook. You'll look like PacMan is eating your head.

Hopefully, when would-be theives learn I spent a whole $19.99 for my 12 month Chron subscription, they'll realize I don't have anything of value worth stealing.

sunday mornings just aren't the same, lingering over coffee & the laptop, reading the Chron online! The comics! The Pink section! The ads!

Brock, your horniness is officially tired. Jack off or something.

Solution: Have a neighbor or family member you trust collect the paper every morning.

Hey now - some of us Chronicle subscribers are 30-somethings. :) If banks, clothing retailers, and many public universities cannot seem to keep a good grip on their customers' information, I'm not surprised in the least that a newspaper operation has an issue. Freeze your credit reports folks .. and buy a big German Shepherd.

These probably weren't being shredded because today's newspaper delivery people are among the laziest people on earth. When I delivered papers in apartment buildings (a couple decades ago now, really), I'd toss or drop papers in front of people's doors in their apartment buildings. Nowadays, mega-routes are usually handled by a guy in a pickup truck who drives up and down the sidewalks putting a stack of papers in front of each apartment building. It's no wonder they dispose of vacation lists along with the newspaper bundle wrappers and other recyclables. I like how the Chron is distancing themselves by insisting their delivery people are "independent agents".
