I see by the snailpapers that Curtis Bloes in Iowa also calls print newspapers by their modern nickname -- drum roll -- SNAILPAPERS (see his post on his blog below)

Curtis Bloes is 39 years old and is a writer in Iowa where he runs a website dedicated to chronicling his adventures in sticking his nose for news into the business of the Sac City, Iowa local government, associated 28Es and various and sundry boards. In a recent blog, he speaks of print newspapers as SNAILPAPERS, a very good term, meant not in derision but as a term of endearment I am sure, and he is the third person in the known universe to being doing this so far. A blogger in San Diego calls print newspapers "snail papers" (two words in his usage, although we snailpapers editors prefer one word: snailpapers), Curtis and Danny Bloom in Taiwan. Curtis noted on his blog:

Perspective: Newspapers count 2002 households as 4,004 readers. I think that's a scam and believe that kind of decades-long lie told us by our established newspapers is one of the core reasons people hate newspapers, BUT... that's how they do it.

I hope to beat the local chicken-dinner announcement rags around here in unique readers without having to resort to that lie to prop me up.

I don't know... you think my sheer local numbers will ever surpass their estimated then doubled world wide numbers? Top of the heap right now in Sac County is the Sac Sun with a claim of 3,000ish readers (1,500ish snailpapers delivered) have I already beat this? Are there two people literally checking in from each household right now?
