The MN still has some outstanding features, like creating some damn useful graphics and charts that, if they deigned to put them online, would have shown up here a number of times over the past years. Aside from that, I often don't even open the A section anymore. If they dropped the comics, I'd probably drop the paper.

I used to write letters to the editor, but the letters page has degraded to a blogger-comment standard that would make me embarrassed to be seen there. Believe it or not, I won a Silver Pen award from them years ago. I doubt they even have the award now.

Sometimes I comment on an article on the website.
