Staple Discussion Continued
RECEIVED Fri., March 9, 2012
Dear Chronicle,
Please add Jim Vest [“Postmarks,” March 9] to the list of those deserving apologies for my earlier foolish support of staples in the Chronicle. I now see that Mr. Vest’s attempts to use stapled pages to line his bird cage must have been a living hell for him and for his psittacine friends. I’d have written sooner, but Mr. Vest’s letter appeared in an unstapled issue. The letter began on page 8 and continued on page 10, but, as I was reading, pages fell out, and the page immediately following page 8 was now page 145. After several minutes of vainly scanning pages 145 and 146 for the continuation of his letter, I realized the problem. Don’t worry. It was easily fixed by regathering and re-collating pages 9 through 144 and then reinserting them in the proper order. Again, sorry for the delay. My bad.
