Dear ,

Earlier today I shared with you news about a letter of mine that was printed by the Epoch Times.

We're now just four days away from Christmas and you may watch one of the versions of The Christmas Carol movie. I always loved the version with George C. Scott as Scrooge.

Scrooge stepped into my life today but so did Tiny Tim after both received my earlier message. Here's exactly what I received:

"You have to sign into the website to read the article which allows the website to set monetize readers privacy no matter what what the TOS say. They get to sell and track your information. Not acceptable and not.cool. If you wanted us to read your article you should have just sent it to u readers as an email. Or did you get compensated for advertising for Epoch Times?" Gary

Then Tiny Tim reached out to me:

"I read your article (published), and the chapter of your book on delivering the newspapers. Outstanding writing!  Your description of your old neighborhood brought back memories of my own experiences carrying the newspapers.  I also appreciated your analysis of how the newspaper industry has come and (mostly) gone.

What's the lesson here? Don't be Scrooge the next four days. 

Stop whining and complaining. Start using fake email addresses to gain access to content if you have to.

Instead, be like Bill and dip yourself in your childhood magic waters via my story and chapter about my paper route.

I'll be back in your Inbox on Sunday morning!
