I have a hunch that if you read the fine print on the questionaire, you will see a disclaimer to the effect that UR will decide who merits a free subscription. They probably decided you weren't worth sending a freebie since from your answers you didn't seem like a person with enough influence. This seems typical of trade journals and I see no reason to think UR might be different. Ken
