Solution

Q I love your paper's TV Week section on Fridays. The one thing that irked me was that in using the supplement, the pages often fall out and it becomes difficult to rearrange them into proper sequence. I found a simple way to avoid this happening which you may want to share with other readers. I simply place a staple on the top and bottom close to the edge of the left side of the cover. This secures all the pages in order for the entire week. Ron, Daniel Island.

A Thanks for the suggestion.

Really?

Q Why doesn't The Post and Courier meet all my needs and fleeting thoughts? How come they haven't pasted photos of Tom Selleck and me throughout? Why didn't they remember my birthday with a box of chocolates? Dee.

A What?! You didn't get the chocolates?

Discrimination

Q My family has subscribed to this paper since before World War I, and now I find you are discriminating against me and other people who do not have computers. How can you justify the Subscriber Rewards program?

A The subscriber rewards program is one way for The Post and Courier to thank home delivery subscribers by providing special benefits and coupons from various business partners. It is also an effort to encourage subscribers to manage their subscriptions on-line rather than by phone.

It is understandable that people who do not use computers are frustrated that so many businesses and services now refer people to on-line sites. It is also understandable that businesses opt to take advantage of the efficiencies that come with doing some business on-line.
