[NFBKTAD] Newspaper Obituaries

[slery]

I think newsline is on the fritz. I never know what issues I am going to 
get and they have even disappeared if I stopped reading before finishing 
and tried to come back.

I use a Victor Stream but problems have also been reported over on the 
Brialliant BI X list so it is not device specific.

As a rule, I always read the paper a day behind so I know that there are 
no more updates coming to the issue. I am also consistantly seeing a 
problem in which days papers I have. Supposedly, with newsline you are 
supposed to have the current issue and the previous two issues for 
newspapers (today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday). I 
consistently will have todays maybe yesterdays and then either no other 
issue or it gets stuck on a particular issue for close to a week.

Ninety-nine percent of the obituaries I get are only names. If they say 
anything else, most of the time it is to send flowers or post a memory. 
Maybe one percent of the time I get the actual obituary. For a couple of 
weeks I had full obituaries for a third of the names listed for that day.
