BTW, the most sucessful and actually looked for "freebie" in my area has articles that are written with a certain "bite" or attitude to them. Among my friends, we say that they "bite the people they write about, but don't leave teeth marks." I know that may be hard to understand unless you know our perspective. I guess the best way to say it is they "make fun" of the establishment and tweak them pretty good but leave them with some dignity. It's fun to read but you don't leave feeling like they are vindictive. Check out www.theotherpaper.com for their online version. It's not a political paper, but reports stories that are sometimes off the beaten path or they expose more than what the mainstream press is willing to go.

Well, FReepers can do that - might take some practice to not lave the teeth marks, but... ;0)
Thanks for your input!
