Oh, boy!  This is a topic that burns a LOT of people.
When MacWeek first came out, it seemed as though they wanted
everybody in the industry to receive a copy.  Somewhere along the
way, however, that idea has changed.

In our company, several people's subscriptions stopped arriving.  For example,
mine.  I filled out a new subscription form.  No response.  Two months later
I mail in another form.  No response.  I gave up.

A full half year later (this past March), an issue arrives for me.  Imagine
that!  And I didn't even have to resort to "three time's a charm."

The saddest part is, that this happens to too many people I know.  Perhaps
MacWeek could send out acknowledgments on postcards, to keep people calm.

Then again, maybe they could just become efficient.
