[net.unix] UNIX/WORLD FOO

Foo, now in addition to having received ten copies of UNIX/WORLD,
I am starting to get these stupid bills for them.  Screw you, UNIX/WORLD,
any prospect of getting me to subscribe was lost by using that inane
tactic.  Do you think you can sucker the UNIX community that easily?

I to recieve UNIX/World.  How I got it I have no idea.
I do work with UNIX; in fact I know UNIX very well.
I don't plan to pay them if they bill me.
I am going cancel as soon as I get the energy up to call.

As a parting shot, I think UNIX/World is not very good.

I also started getting "free" copies of UNIX/WORLD after I
picked up the first issue at the Washington conference.
After getting two or three issues I started getting bills
and then notices that I hadn't paid my bill yet!  I would
like to hear from others who have had the same experience
and maybe we can send a group letter of complaint to the
magazine and the proper authorities (attorney general?, post
office?).  Please reply to me by mail and I will post a
summary of how many of us are in the same position.  The
thing that irked me the most was that I liked the magazine
and was about to sumbit a subscription
when they started this foolishness and lost me forever.
