We are still using the sticks for our dailies.  But we also staple the paper
sections.  Apparently we have more of a dishonest population then others.
Despite our efforts we still have sections/pages removed from the papers.
Whenever there is a contest entry form in the paper, we have to X the form
with markers, or they get ripped out.

And I'm fighting a rear-guard action against those who don't understand why
they can't fill in the crosswords in the papers.

Subject: [SERIALST] Newspapers on sticks

Hello!

Has anyone stopped using newspaper sticks?  If so, has it been a problem?
We currently keep the following on sticks -- most recent daily edition of
the NYT, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer and our
local paper; most recent Sunday edition of the NYT, Washington Post,
Philadelphia Inquirer and our local paper.

Thanks,

Ken
