I called NeXTWorld yesterday and told them exactly that. They claimed 
that "someone" had phoned in a telephone subscription in my name. While 
that may (faint chance) be true, it certainly wasn't *me*, and I don't 
*want* a subscription after seeing how the magazine handles delivery. I 
eventually convinced them to wipe the account and delete it. Call them 
voice and talk to them...that seems to work best...
