Heartily disagree! No reason whatever for advertising. That is, not
any good ones anyway. One can always find what they need to know
about. especially with the advent of google ... hehe.
Advertising is just some pinhead pushing his line of bull for
profit. Not a nice little neighborhood helper at all.
Maybe once in a while it turns up something you happen to want at the
moment but those 170,000 other copies didn't. I think it represents
a really deficient system, absolute wastefullness etc etc.
Can you really argue the 100s, maybe thousands of tons of paper per week
is some how `ok'? Some of it may find a good use wrapping fresh
fish. Or in what few outhouse remain in USA.
