I’ve had it with these intrusive ad stickers the RMN insists on pasting on the cover page.
I’ve seen where readers have been complaining about these stickers for weeks. Other readers have responded that there is too much going on in the world to be concerned about ad stickers, and that we should just peel them off and “move on". Since these ads keep on coming, this apparently is the attitude adopted by the editors at the News.
I subscribe to a newspaper to read about those world events, not to have them covered every morning with such blatant in-your-face hucksterism. There are other sources of news in this community, and I have decided to find a news source that doesn’t feel it is necessary to start my day with another irritation. I just canceled my subscription to the News.
I know that one subscription means nothing when compared to the revenue these ads bring, but at least I won’t have to deal with them anymore, and can now enjoy my morning paper while catching up on the real news. I have “moved on” without the Rocky Mountain News.

Goodbye....

Petty?

Yours is not the only subscription cancelled over this sticky issue. I canceled three weeks ago. I'm actually getting news AND entertainment online. Coupons are coming by mail and in the free Sentinal. TV guide is also free online. As for commentary - there is all sorts available from political hate speech to insightful analysis online as well.

So stick it Mr. Temple.

Quit your whinning. It takes you longer to whine here on the net than it would to just ignore the sticker or peel it off.

You must be one of those rare individuals who doesn't mind pop-up ads on the internet. Most of us use pop-up blockers to keep them from covering what we're trying to read, but I guess they don't bother you. These sticky ads are simply journalistic pop-up ads. Maybe I can get my carrier to be my "pop-up blocker" for a nice tip.

Ted,
How do you like those damn stickers floating around when you first open the page
to RMN on the Internet? Then it floats to the bottom left side. Can't get away from them huh? LOL
