I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

      Every time I read it, I think of a very polite reply I saw a month or two back that said (paraphrasing):

      Hey, I just want to say nothing against you, but your username disgusted me so much I’m going to add you to my block list so I don’t ever have to see it again.
