I think my city's population is actually a bit smaller than Providence's or Hartford's too. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good fight. I can't imagine what life would be like having to buy the times every day and not get that amazing educator's discount.Pamphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709191371678901051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156285130724284922006-08-22T18:18:00.000-04:002006-08-22T18:18:00.000-04:00If your school is anything like mine was, they hav...If your school is anything like mine was, they have more copies than they know what to do with and you can easily take one home with you. Yeah, not so helpful on weekends or for your early-morning read, but still... it's free, man.<BR/><BR/>-scrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156121167432197892006-08-20T20:46:00.000-04:002006-08-20T20:46:00.000-04:00I'm glad you're all equally amazed--right after I ...I'm glad you're all equally amazed--right after I wrote this post I sent a politer version of the same message to the customer care email address; we'll see if they reply.<BR/><BR/>And T: I do read the Times on line, but I feel as though I always miss things that way; there's really just nothing that compares to reading the hard copy, in my opinion. It's so much easier to skim, to start an article, or to stumble upon unexpected pleasures. (It's also brilliantly portable, although that will be less of a benefit now that I'm driving rather than taking a train to campus.)<BR/><BR/>I'll update if I hear anything back.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156118274898850932006-08-20T19:57:00.000-04:002006-08-20T19:57:00.000-04:00Good luck with that.

I used to try to get the Sunday NYT but gave up when it was usually delivered on Tuesday mornings, if at all, nice and soggy from the sprinkler.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156109553403662882006-08-20T17:32:00.000-04:002006-08-20T17:32:00.000-04:00I'm amazed!

I didn't actually ask about daily delivery here; I've always gotten the Sunday paper and was feeling pretty pleased with NYT because the delivery person puts it right on my porch, instead of hurling it onto the driveway for me to run over.<BR/><BR/>FWIW, I subscribe to the (free) daily email thing from the NYT, so I invariably read it online while drinking coffee and checking blogs.Tirunculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788199657297216288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156108488580007692006-08-20T17:14:00.000-04:002006-08-20T17:14:00.000-04:00I applaud your ability to keep up with a daily new...I applaud your ability to keep up with a daily newspaper! Dumb question--have you inquired at your institution? Here, they cut us a really good deal for subscriptions--I wonder if that might come with delivery.

If you ever get it, make sure you get the academic rate. Much better deal. So sorry about this - I think I would literally not know what to do with myself if I couldn't get it.<BR/><BR/>-akbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-1156105169249802282006-08-20T16:19:00.000-04:002006-08-20T16:19:00.000-04:00That is freakin' dumb.
