Hi Tamar,

That's a good point. I guess it's the psychology of the thing. The issue month is just a label. But they use it in a way that differs from most other publishers and leaves me feeling like either they're incredibly late getting magazines printed/shipped or there's a major postal delivery problem.

Maybe they should drop two months and name their next issue "April 2003" since we'll probably be getting it in late March. That would be more consistent with most other magazines (at least the ones I get). And of course they'd have to change our expiration issue to make sure we still get our 12 issues for the year.

>Your experience matches mine. FWIW, seems to me the cover date is irrelevant. Why does it matter whether the issue that arrives in February is dated January, February or March? The real issue is whether you get an issue once a month.
