Dear Tony: "Read it here (on the Internet)." That's what I do. Occasionally I buy a newspaper to add to my, "Important dates in history," newspaper collection started by my grandmother during WWI. Other than this, I only buy the Sunday paper for the TV section and all the "junk." I would subscribe to the WSJ paper edition if I could get home delivery, but we can only get delivery via our postal carriers. My mail comes between 4 and 4:30 p.m. so I subscribe to the interactive edition--but I prefer the printed. Regards, Lynn
