4. If I was a gazillionaire, I would do the exact opposite of todays trend

Of how the newspapers are now paper thin, full of ads, and barely worth looking at anymore. I would go old school, a huge newspaper, lots of content, and so on. I bet it would gain an audience.

Same thing with a movie theater chain. No commercials whatsoever, popcorn that doesn't cost 10 dollars for a medium bag, reasonable prices, I bet it would be a gigantic hit with the public.

5. The Saint Paul Pioneer Press's

subscription list is growing, and has been for some time. I love reading a paper each morning.

7. You left off "Yes, every day including Sunday"

I used a paper today - it's much more environmentally friendly than styrofoam pellets for boxing up items for shipping.

8. I read a daily paper every day and 3 other weeklies as well.

But my reason for keeping papers in print is to prevent a divide between those who are well off enough to have computer and Internet access and those who don't but could read a newspaper even if it is shared or at the library.

9. When we tell our grandchildren that "newspapers" were "printed" on machines using "ink",

and people got up at dawn to physically deliver this printed product to our homes and to "newsstands", they are going to be fascinated.

11. I like to at least skim through the paper, and I use the newsprint for several things.

Just today I started a papier mache project with my kids for school and I also crumpled up old papers to pad something we'd sold on Ebay and had to ship. I also need them for kitty box and bunny cage stuff. Not facetious -- that stuff comes in handy!

12. No. Believe it or not, not every adult citizen has a computer.
