I was astonished to read the following comment:
"We still offer a print out but the main problem is whether you
listen to what your users want or whether you make the decision
that date labels will no longer be provided and disregard
public opinion.
Personally, I think that date labels should be discontinued"
Well, I hate to sound like one of those forever complaining
readers, but they actually do pay our wages. And who are we to
tell them whether or not they should be allowed to have a date
stamped in their books. What is the point in saving,what is
after all their money, if we are doing it by going against
their wishes?
I hope that there are still a sufficient number of people
within the service who don't just "disregared public opinion".
Like it or not, we are here to serve the public, and we should
do that by making decisions which suit them, not ourselves.
Incidentally, I personally would gladly see the back of
date-stamping, I find it a messy, unreliable nuisance.
However, until the majority of readers share my views, I shall
be happy to continue to use them
