I mean how would it look?  The state's capital city newspaper jettisoning
the Connect section?

Guess #1:

It might look like a newspaper cutting costs when the .com/all-thing-net 
craze (that they helped whip up) goes away as well. (short sighted)

Guess #2:

It might look like a newspaper wants to repurpose that section for targeted
advertising to increase revenues. (smart)

Guess #3:

It might look like a newspapers that tried something and decided it wasn't 
working out and others wanted a chance.  (I mean Connect is a recent thing
and isn't an anchor of the paper by any means.)


Having said this... I still won't be buying a Monday paper if it goes
away... but
if Nando stops putting those damned blue plastic wrapped news advertisements
in my yard I might consider buying it again.
