On May 29, I wrote of my tribulations with NY Times Customer Service.

Although communications with customer service remained on the level of “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”, the tablets worked for about two weeks. They then reverted to “trial mode”, with the 10 free articles per month.

With all due respect to the Gray Lady who I will never know, but who lives on in my imagination, I’ve said goodbye.

The content of this blog will be unaffected. While the Times is a newspaper of record, this blog thrives on aggregate analysis of lower quality information, as well as the many high quality, fragmented specialty sources.

Times, I would have liked to help you in your goal to excel.
