You're saying that the congregation knows
what's good.

Yup... generally pretty much the case.... :)

Well, they did appear generally contentedly
well-fed when encountered met them.

We'll probably still purchase it... though it really isn't what it used
to be.... I've noted that it no longer claims to be strong... though it
is still septic-safe.... I also noted that now it calls itself Scott tissue, with the last in very small print, instead of ScotTissue...

I wonder what was in the minds of the various
accountants and strategists and marketing people
when all of these things took place. When did the
change occur?

100 sheets to each roll, and proclaim it as like getting 3 extra rolls
(when one buys the 36-roll pack)... I suspect that there still isn't as
much paper in each roll as the original rolls had, back when Scott was
still making them.... not sure when they stopped touting strong, I only recently noticed, but it might have been a while now, for all I know...

They probably have an interest in the hand

I think I remember that happening on the Clam Crawl I was at...

Was that when we retreated to the small picnic
area at the back end of the parking lot?

I believe so.... :)

Yeah, I remember some people being all clammed out
by the time we got there.

Short-term gain, but then a loss of reputation, and eventually a loss of business, one would expect.... I appreciate the attention to quality

those responsible for an apparent surge in revenue
get their bonuses.

Short-sighted.... and sadly, those responsible have their golden

Look at the corporate decisions being made -
Mr. Boeing must be tired of spinning in his
grave by now. Maybe the 737s should be fitted
with ordinary parachutes.

At least now I'm keeping in touch with a number of them.... :)

That's the benefit of the long view.

Absolutely... :)

Plus an ex-president of my musical association
as it turns out is living within 3 miles of the
reunion, and so I'm having lunch with her (she
was the second woman president) the Tuesday after.

Nice... :)

Haven't seen her in maybe a decade, and a
number of people have asked me to convey
their greetings.

There are plenty of places that still use the older dispensers... that's
where it is most noticeable that the size has been shaved down.....
