Slog - Comments on Letter of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/letter_of_the_day_67 My bus stop has a row of newspaper boxes, with the Stranger and Seattle Weekly at the end. One day I saw that someone had set a fire in the Weekly box. There was a large pile of ash in it, and its plastic window was warped and drooping. The Stranger box next to it was untouched. I mentioned this to my teenage son, and he asked the question I'd been wondering, too: "Why would someone burn the Weekly and not the Stranger?" Franz Amador...

It's not like anyone picks up the paper anyway.
