People, please keep in mind that the mailing/circulation department is
often separate from the subscription department -- in fact, many
magazines hire a service to do the subscriptions.  Consequently, it
does take a while for the word to get from the subscription people to
the circulation people that you've cancelled.  (This is also the
reason that you get two or three issues before they realize you've
cancelled.)

Incidentally, in some magazines, the circulation and subscription
departments are known as "fulfillment" departments, because it's about
fulfilling subscriptions.  That's a title I've always wanted to have:
Director of Fulfillment. :-)
