   If you want it to stop, call Ingles management and marketing. The main reason for the weekly freebie is to distribute its inserts. If it knows half rot in driveways then it will stop the inserts, and without the needed rev, the AC-T stops printing the useless things. New publisher apparently lives in Biltmore Lake so I doubt they get thrown there either.

   I wonder if I could get someone arrested at the C-T for throwing those freebie newspapers they keep tossing in my driveway? I swear in my neighborhood, more than half the people just let the damn things rot in their drive way. I wonder if people lets these things rot in their driveway in the Ramble?

   From inside the gates of hell:

   communication from Hammer is sadly missing at this tough time. Leaderhsip is needed but, alas, no one knows how. No replacing marketing director which means its staff is now clocking 65-70 hours per week, or let’s just say around 30 freebies. India operation is hit and miss right now with production below par.
   At same time, revenues are low, low, low compared to last year, and the year before. That means since the respected Virgil Smith was kindly ousted revenues have faded like Hammer’s hairline. Yikes! You can only cut so much and burn up good talent before the whole house of cards crumbles.
