They're real good at soliciting early renewals, offering a discount for same. I went for one... net result? 2 subscriptions. Month after month, I write them, telling them I expect to get one copy for a year longer, not 2 copies for a year. They can't find my duplicate subscriptions. My mailing labels don't show extended expiration date. Round and round. I told them I don't expect to pay for the duplicates, they can bloody well extend my original subscription for a year or I'll never send them any more money, and I can do without their magazine if they don't. Combine this with Chuqui's warning about authoring for them, and it's obvious they're constipated on both ends... input and output. Now children... turn to chapter 11...
