http://blogs.e-rockford.com/editorsnote/2008/10/15/hey-geezers-click-here/ Back in the old days -- that's less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers -- editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an "editor's note." Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor's note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today's blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor's Note.

And not totally by choice. Here it is, 11:30 on a Sunday morning and my copy of the RRStar still hasn't made it to my doorstep. Two calls to circulation - one, I gave up on after a 10 minute wait for service - and still no paper. This is not the first time, by far. It's funny, the Trib makes it to my house each and every morning all the way from Chicago (not one missed delivery this year) and yet the RRStar can't make it here, traversing the whole 3 miles from the Newstower. I guess we WILL have to get used to reading the paper on the net. I guess this old “geezer” is getting used to reading the RRStar online. And not totally by choice.
