Atrios cuts to the quick on the struggles of the newspaper industry.

The point is that it’s lost advertising revenue, not lost subscription revenue, that’s the big problem.

I have argued before (not here, in person–I actually do see real live persons from time to time) that, more than anything else, Craig’s List, which took the classifieds, led the charge. The Saturday classifieds in the Philadelphia Shrinquier, which used to be easily three sections (I have read the Inky off and on for 25 years), not counting the real estate ads, is now seldom more than one section, including the real estate.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
