[Ford-ferguson] Lancaster Farming ads

Very sad to hear of the change, Mike.  I got a kick out of reading the ads that 
you sent.  Please stay on the subject as I, for one, would like you to continue 
to forward them on.  Thanks for your input into this forum.

Doug

Subject: [Ford-ferguson] Lancaster Farming ads

You might have noticed that I haven't sent any Lancaster Farming 
"Mailbox Markets" ads for the last couple of weeks. It isn't because I 
am lazy or sick; the newspaper "updated" their website and somehow lost 
my login and password. I finally got that straightened out and got in, 
only to discover that the "new" format is very readable but has only 5 
ads per page. So for 500 listings (which is average) I would have to go 
through 100 pages, cutting and pasting the ads one by one. Well folks, 
that ain't gonna happen.

I sent them a friendly note suggesting that maybe they could offer 
people the choice of 5 ads per page or the old listing (which was about 
25 ads/page in a linear format.

So, unless they change things, there won't be any more of my weekly 
listings. (I guess there will be some people will be happy to hear that 
news. :-) )

Mike
