Ouch! Wrong edition

I live in Greensboro but that darned newspaper delivered a Rockingham edition to my house this morning. Me and 27,999 other subscribers. A press problem combined with human error killed us. I apologize to all 27,999 of you. (I've already apologized to my wife.)

Something like this always happens after I write about special efforts we make to get it right. (See post below.) We'll reprint the city edition stories that didn't make the correct edition in the paper tomorrow.

I know people who live in Level Cross who receive a different edition almost daily. Sometimes they get the Burlington edition, the High Point edition, etc.

Why is that?

E-mail me the address of someone who has this problem, and we'll check it out. It's certainly not supposed to be happening. Level Cross folks are supposed to get our High Point edition. (We have no Burlington edition. People who live in Burlington get the Greensboro edition.)

This doesn't have anything to do with the editions being wrong... but with a mislabeling on your website.

The "breaking news" label above the Eric Rudolph pleading guilty story is very inaccurate. This story "broke" around 2 p.m. To still imply that you have breaking news around the clock is inaccurate... (unless you call a AP feed somewhere breaking news)

(For a moment, let's pretend it is breaking news -- the story doesn't even have a timestamp of when it was posted...)

Maybe it was Asheboro instead of Burlington?
