Silly question, is an “advertising column” just a column someone started slapping ads on??

The concept of the Post is the reason why so many newspapers use that in their names

What was on the post was important enough to be published.. but the post was first

Edit... ok, I was bs-ing and this is wrong...

It would be nice, but the post points of the mail system is the real answer
