I filed the following complaint with the BBB as another outlet. I’d encourage everyone who is concerned about this issue to spend a few minutes filing a complaint with the BBB. Here is the link:

RE: My complaint to you about the AJC
Your incoming dated 5/29/10 was received today.
I appreciate your BBB interest in this matter.
The AJC reply would be acceptable if it were not for the fact that they originally answered in a similar manner yet continued to toss their papers into my driveway on Monday and Thursday. For the past 10 days I have not had these unwanted items showing up and I hope this remains the case, I doubt that it will based on past experience. I assume the case will now be closed. I have been advised by other property owners that they were also putting in complaints.
I would like to further bring to your attention that this firm, rated as A+ by the BBB, continues to throw these unwanted circulars into driveways, sidewalks and private property all across the Atlanta Metro area.
This is the subject of at least 2 CBS TV reports, blog sites such as:

The Atlanta Better Business Bureau needs to take away the A+ rating you have given this firm. They do NOT deserve it and it makes the BBB look like they will take any steps necessary to excuse one of their members bad acts just so they can keep getting the yearly dues payments.
Why not do the responsible thing and tell the AJC to either correct their littering or you will drop their rating to ‘U’ for unacceptable.
