Hey, State newspaper: Quit trashing my yard with McClatchy supplements

Update 8/26/2019 - This matter seems to have been due to automated responses I received by submitting my request through the State newspaper's website. I finally contacted them by phone, and the supplement has apparently been discontinued. Otherwise, my remarks stand as stated.   8/29/2019 update - Spoke too soon, the supplement is being delivered again effective yesterday morning. None arrived last week after my phone call, so I thought the State had gotten the message. Perhaps this matter will have to be resolved in small claims court. 9/16/2019 - small claims court won't work, it has to be an individual - not a company - doing the harassing in order to get a restraining order. Meanwhile, I've learned that dislike of the State's supplements is rampant and not being able to get delivery stopped is an all-too-common problem. Just another out-of-control corporation making life in Amerika (sic) miserable for consumers. As Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says in this article, "Life in America has become a gut-wrenching, soul-sucking, misery-drenched, demoralizing existence."

Update 10/4/2019 - Don't bother complaining to the SC Dept. of Consumer Affairs, a worthless agency that functions primarily to provide cushy jobs for select South Carolinians at taxpayer expense. I couldn't even get the little corporate stooge's website to work, so I sent 'em an e-mail and finally got a reply but the info they sent didn't work either, so I replied with a link to this post.

One of the best things I ever did was cancelling my subscription to the State newspaper. In a society where mainstream media is a mouthpiece for government propaganda, only fools subscribe to newspapers, especially in this age of the Internet. It hasn't been as good as allowing thug goon AT&T to disconnect my home phone (landline - I've never had a cell) due to robocalls and a bill I didn't owe 'em, along with my home Internet (I now use a computer at the library) but even so...

I made the mistake of continuing McClatchy supplements, which I never read, but figured I might use for catching the cleaner when I clean my bicycle. Even that proved unnecessary, so I repeatedly asked the State to cancel delivery of all supplements. Things went well with the YES and EXTRA, but CAROLINAS FOOD supplement continues to clutter up my yard. Last time it was deposited, I put two of the ones I had already received alongside it, and the newest one disappeared, leaving me to discard the other two. A similar thing happened at least once before, so no surprise.

The State would be well advised to put some energy into investigative reporting 'stead of cluttering up people's yards with their unwanted junk. An excellent starter would be for 'em to warn the public that a time limit has been quietly placed on wills as part of an ongoing probate racket that got underway in 1986, but I'm sure that would be asking way too much.

I'll send the State a link to this post hoping that will at least help me with yard-work.

Update 5/24/2019 - Below is a copy of the reply I received from the State newspaper, and I'm hoping for the best. Meanwhile, the following Wednesday another CAROLINAS FOOD supplement was tossed on my driveway.

Dear Parris Boyd,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We have sent a follow up 

request to the distribution team to have this stopped however it may

your request seriously and will honor your wishes. If you have any
