With our larger, improved weather map, we've run into a space allocation problem.
We're trying to figure out a good way to solve it. One proposal was to drop our Sudoku feature.
To test if this were good idea or not, we left the puzzle out of Tuesday's edition to see if anyone noticed.
They did.
The experiment is over; Sudoku will be back in Wednesday's edition (plus we'll put in the puzzle that was skipped).
I do apologize for and dismay our little experiment caused; I won't apologize for trying to be sure we're running daily features that people actually want.
Sometimes an experiment like this is the only way to find out what's wheat and what's chaff.
One plus has been the chance I had to talk to the readers who've called in. It's nice to be reminded that we have so many intelligent readers who do care what's in their newspaper.
