I was talking to a vendor I do a little business with and he mentioned that
one of his products was recently reviewed in Unix Review, assuming I had
seen it. I told him about the b.s. of not offering free subscrictions to 
Canadians. He later phoned up Unix Review and confirmed that that was their 
policy and when they told him yes he told them, "In that case, I'll be 
cancelling all of my advertising with you".

Maybe if we can get a few more companies to threaten this the Unix Review
people will wake up and smell the coffee.
