quite peculiar that it was on a first come first serve basis as I was one of the very early people to have put my information through.

Even stranger was the fact that I didnt hear a reply that I wasnt accepted into the "free" membership until a good long while after most of the other members on this forum received a letter that they weren't accepted as well.

I am glad to see this magazine being published and it was nice of them to put out the option for free subscriptions for a year to a limited few. Being as how this all panned out, I will say that this has put a bad taste in my mouth about the magazine in general.

The reality is that 100 people is a very small pool on a international scale, but once I heard that a couple of people who put their information into the pool after me had been accepted, I lost a little bit of faith in this system.

I do hope them the best in their venture, but they have lost the potential for at least one subscriber with these issues.
