Two blank pages

On Monday, Nov. 17 your cartoon Rose is Rose described my feelings toward The Jakarta Post. It really is a kind of special pleasure to wake up every morning to get the news on the porch.

Sometimes I have had to make a complaint to the news agent when the naughty boy who delivers my newspaper failed to send me a copy.

That day the boy was good, I got my present and I happily gobbled down the news. But to my disappointment, I faced two blank pages on my most favorite pages (page 8 and page 9). At first I thought it was a new kind of advertisement, but then I failed to find my favorite cartoons, the crossword puzzler, "Where to Go in Jakarta" and "TV today". I also missed the feature articles that your newspaper might have carefully prepared. I wonder if I am the only one with such luck!

Note: We're sorry for the bad copy. It could have happened due to the high speed rotation of the printing machine, and it apparently escaped the notice of our quality control. We regret the inconvenience caused.
