I never claimed to be the "resident expert", just offered up a dose of sarcasm. Thanks for your juvenile name calling telling me not to be an idiot. Your smugness knows no bounds.

So, for the past 364 days, I take it this wasn't a problem. Correct?
I'm trying to think of another industry that did right by me more than 99% of time in a year, and then allowed me a public forum to have a chance to complain about it the one time in a year it didn't deliver.
Sure isn't my power company, my cable company, my insurance company, restaurants, doctors' offices, traffic planners, airlines ...

Finally, a voice of reason. You do something right 99.9% of the time and then screw up, albeit with the most important paper of the week, and then the peabrains come out in droves. I never realized how many small minded, unforgiving people lived in this area until I started reading some of these posts. It's amazing how many can hide behind their computer and demand this and demand that - as if they have never made a mistake in their lives. It's really kind of sick. The Star messed up. Fine. There isn't anyone out there who disagees. If it happens more often, then let them have it and vote with your pocketbook. Otherwise, shut up and go back to your bashing of schools, the Colts, and anyone else who dares do their business in public!!

If The Star was doing A Good Job during that 99.9% of the time, rather than continuing as The Incredible Shrinking Newspaper, there might not be so much ire over the Sunday misfortune.
But The Star has not been doing a good job and in fact is on a downward spiral in terms of content, political reporting, city coverage, local features- you name it. Gannett is in trouble, partly as a result of squeezing unsustainable profits out of its properties. And partly through no fault of its own: the Internet has virtually eliminated classified ad revenue.
So, Star staff shrinks, the newspaper shrinks, readers are not unaware of the loss of quality and when the newspaper falls on its face, readers say, "There, another sign that The End is near."
