Why is the delivery time for my Sunday paper 8:30 a.m. "in my area" (Atlanta)? The subscription department was aggressive about how late it can be considered on time. If the paper wasn't the preeminent newspaper in the United States, I would drop my subscription. Late news is not news. If The New York Times is a national paper not a regional/local rag, the paper should hit the doorstep at 6:30, 7:30 latest. Thanks!NYT president Scott Heekin-Canedy is answering reader questions right now; this should give you an indication of exactly how exciting the whole thing is. (Good news: the guy in Atlanta's gonna get his paper a little earlier.) Did no one tell Scott that he doesn't have to answer every question? You're the president of the New York Times for God's sake, not some customer service representative. Although given the way things are going, it's probably not a terrible idea to demonstrate some expertise in that area. Future employers look for that sort of thing.

Ooooo. Ask him what 13 Down is. Such a tough one!
what the hell does this dude in atlanta NEED a hard copy of the ny times for...? it is called the internet, dude.
Umm...yea...can you tell me why when I open yer paper I find nothing to read that is remotely relevent to my life....and is generally two days behind the times. And why any political writing falls somewhere between cliche and milqeuetoast? Oh and when are you going to stop wasting glossy paper on "design" "fashion" and "travel" "magazines"...? These waste ink, laminate and take writers away from their work on the internets...just stop all that.
Sadly, since they stopped carrying Gasoline Alley, you'll find little that's relevant to "yer" life as a comical caricature of a poorly-educated 1940s greasemonkey. Now quit yer gabbin and fix my Studabaker! That chrome ain't gonna polish itself, mac.
