I just talked to Dave Chandler (Associate Editor of Unix Review)
about what M.D. Sheer writes about and he said that it sounds like
a screw-up in the circulation department.  Basically, anyone who
works on, or with a Unix system should be qualified to receive a
free subscription to the magazine.

He suggests (and I do too) that you call him directly and talk to
him about it - he can be reached at Miller Freeman publications at
(415) 397-1881 PST in San Francisco.

For a bit of background, "Unix Review" (and "Computer Language", "AI 
Expert" (and soon to be "Database Programming and Design")) are all 
part of a larger magazine publishing group called Miller-Freeman.  Most 
of the stuff that MF puts out are glossy trade mags like "Pulp and Paper" 
(I kid you not...) and so the interaction between the two groups is a 
minimal one at best.  What tends to happen is that the Unix Review/CL 
people do all their own artwork and layout, set their own editorial 
policies, and only use what parts of Miller-Freeman they are 'obligated' 
to use.  Of that, one of the groups is the circulation department...

I find it quite fun to be involved with this merry band of delinquents 
and have been associated with Computer Language since their early days 
working out of a single room on Townsend Street, with doors on file 
cabinets as desks and all.  

Needless to say, this background bit is brought to you out of my own
knowledge and experience and in no way reflects the actual feelings 
or actions of any of the Unix Review staff...  *wry grin*

Now if we can just figure out what to do with Marks' red carnation...
