“You can’t tell from the photo,” our submitter says, “but the paper quality of this notice is above average. I guess there’s no cheap printer paper for angry Upper East Side residents!”
Although our submitter admits she was surprised this wasn’t posted by a Wall Street Journal subscriber, I’d say this more or less fits with the unique approach of the typical New York Times subscriber. WSJ-ers, on the other hand…

Thanks for noticing! Also, thanks for the papers. All of us down at Red HQ love that NYT! We are informing over a dozen people with it every day, whereas you were only informing yourself. So the common good is served. Feel free to come join us if you’d like to read it. But we solve the crossword as a team, so no hogging!

FYI, I do believe in private property.

Honestly, first they complain that my dog craps on their lawn, then they whine and moan because I take their newspaper to clean it up. There is just no pleasing them!

Yay! So if I say I’m a communist, I can have your paper?

Well, at least he believes in personal property! My favorites are the ones that object to the concept of possessions, and then get angry when someone steals their stuff. Can’t have it both ways!

Sorry. I saw it lying there and needed something to wipe the sweat from my glistening, muscular torso.

I do appreciate the straightforwardness of Harrison’s “I’ll break your fuckin arms,” but it’s belied by the polite and genial (though annoying) switch to Lucida Sans (thanks for the identification, Anoniemus). This clearly makes it even better, and much more frightening.

Generally, communists make a distinction between private property and personal property. The newspaper would be considered personal property, not private property.
I’d expect these sorts of errors from a reader of the Post, but surely not from a subscriber to the Times!

If it’s something I care about I prefer to read on paper. Somehow I absorb the information better.
