Island Jeff, the LA Times retention specialists have been at it for over a *decade* with my elderly mom. I got moderately mad when they did not remove her from their call list and kept calling over several months.
I realize the poor worker on the phone was not the problem, and advised her she should find a job with a ship that wasn’t taking on water.
I will keep this post advised of any response from the ST, and you in particular. You seem to share my glee.
If it’s any consolation, the Times, by virtue of some twisted concept of saving the buggywhip industry, is forced to share operations with the People’s Izvestia, aka Post-Intelligencer (misnamed if there ever was such a thing), which is just a joke even the Latte Liberal Leadership of this town laughs at it.
The LA Times and the PI are about the same. The Seattle Times’ fever is about half a degree lower.
Take ‘em out behind the barn. Markets work.
