>Well, earlier in this thread I reported that I got a call from them and I told them I wouldn't pay what they were asking given the recent poor quality of the magazine and they offered it to me at $109. I decided to chance it and gave the ok and my wife gave them the card number, etc. Turns out they never charged me and when I got an e-mail notice about renewal today I called and just told them I didn't want to renew. Supposedly they are taking me off the marketing list, but claim it will take 60 to 90 days (why can you get on that list so fast, but it takes 90 days to be removed!?). Too bad, it was a good magazine for quite some time.

Why would subscribe to a magazine which can't get their data straight, specially not to one that wants to sell some advice about getting your data straight :).

I once tried to order a magazine from Germany, and they weren't able to pull the money from my card. When I called, they told me to call again tomorrow, few hours earlier, when the person in charge would still be there. Too bad guys, if you aren't able to have a salesperson after 15:00 and aren't able to take the money I offered... g'bye. Got the magazine later via Amazon.
