Post box in hand, please send me your papers

Regarding the snail-mail address I established for folks who don't want to buy $5 subscriptions online, a reader says today: "What if, along with the money, I included an actual hard copy of my Gannett-owned newspaper? If enough of us did this, you'd get a collection of all Gannett papers. Not that the collection would be worth much, but you could critique papers as they came in, look for what one paper is doing right, highlight some good writing, look for themes or patterns among Gannett papers, etc."

Terrific idea! And you don't even have to buy a subscription to send a copy of your paper. In any case, I happily accept cash! Please make any checks payable to me.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
