Yes, it's them.  They sent me a thing in the mail that said the response was
too large for them to send out free issues.  So they asked me to PAY for my
free issue.  Totally unprofessional.

I have my own little startup company myself and I know better than to make
promises I can't keep or to go back on my word.  I'm surprised no one
threatened legal action.  I don't really trust these people anymore.
