Notice to The Advocate: THIS is how it is done.

[Turbine]

Turbine, don't get stuck on stupid!

I know huh!

Case in point; I got stuck on stupid with Scout and got every single thing I wanted ... and nothing.

CajunNation continues to benefit.

Go back and find Luke Johnson (new Advocate UL beat writer) and read what was there. They aren't gong to U-L-L us to death like they have in the past. THey're going to use Cajuns and Ragin' Cajuns more than ever before.

They aren't going to use Louisiana. Get over it.

-----Jay i was thinking that one great thing that could happen with the new paper in the area was that the stories could run in the BR and NO editions---have been to NO fairly much but mixed coverages are there with a sometimes an article to NOTHING---was this suppose to be the modus operendi???

[STEVEAUX UL 78]

Then sadly you will miss a lot of good UL coverage from another beat writer.

You may be correct..and so as not to get into a 5 page answer....I just can't...

I read the online version of the advocate because it is free, I don't read the advertiser online because it is not free and I also do not care for Bucky.

LOL!! There may be a time in the near future that I just may offer it back to you and, you may find that after expenses and paying someone to help you there is still almost nothing!

Don't worry Boomer, some of us were already thinking about that extra coverage including Jay. There is always the big picture, but for others not so much. LOL!!!!

I am reading the Advocate every day. The kid flat out knows how to write and the coverage is great. I hate the fact that The Advocate publishers are still petty and childish. Seems to me that people that still act this way are scared of UL and its potential.

Mel can you imagine how great our economy would be if everyone who created a good or service gave it away for free.

[CajunRed]

I pay for a monthly subscription to the DA because it is my local paper...and, as life may offer SOME things for free, publishing a paper isn't one of them. I work for a living and my work isn't free. I have, though, been looking for someone to cut my grass and wash my vehicles for free, but...as of yet...have not found anyone.

I understand people need to make money on items and goods, but it is free for now and I will take advantage of that fact. I am sure sooner or later they will start charging and when they do I will stop reading or do the same tricks that I use to read the advertiser when I find something interesting. Most of you do not know my situation but I am currently paying to house notes and have turned off cable TV in both house. It is called priorities and paying for a subscription online or to have it delivered is not a priority in my life right now. I would rather pay for my season tickets and memberships to the rebounder's club & diamond club. As for those two sports I have more information than anyone could write in either paper.

Cowardly, fearful, biased, agenda driven, scared.....exactly what I want from my news source. Not Luke's fault I know, but damn those are attributes that should concern us to the core.

[Fais do-do]

Darn, can't read it from work. Considered a gambling site........
