The message OWJwc.1376$RP3.312@newsfe1-win
from "Bella" contains these words:

Thank you to everyone, especially Franz, for your suggestions and advice.
I still like the thoughts of R.rugosa hybrids, as does my friend.
They would certainly stop the newspaper boy dead in his tracks when
attempting to cross the lawn.

There are easier ways. The first is to speak to the delivery boy and
explain politely why you don't want him to take that route. If you are
in the habit of tipping him at Christmas, you can point out the link
between his tip, and pleasing a customer. If he persists, speak to his
employer, pointing out the link between pleasing customers and retaining
their business.
