A note to the Subscription Department of the New York Times<\/i><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Soon after my daily subscription started, I received a bill from the NYT. I immediately complied with this request for payment by sending in $0.25. While this was not a \u201cfull\u201d payment (as defined by you), it was clearly a signal that I intended to comply within the structure of our mutual agreement. This was followed up a week later by an additional $0.25 payment; once again, a clear indication that I was conforming to your demands. However, although I was paying for my newspapers, you seemed to indicate that the level of compliance was out of step with what we agreed to.<\/p>\n

Heh. Sauce for the Editorial Page is sauce for the Subs Department?<\/p>\n
