Neither can I.

I subscribed March '89, got my first issue November '89, got told to renew
December '89, it stopped Feb. '90.  I sent in my first renewal request in
Dec. '89.  I sent another in Jan. '90.  I sent e-mail to Mr. Greenberg, who
said he'd look into it.  He told me I didn't send in a card.

Another co-worker had a similar story.  I don't know anyone who's ever gotten
decent service from their subscription department.  This level of incompetance
is intolerable.

I think that they should either get their house in order or we should boycott
that rag.

Probably more accurate a source. :-(
