Unfortunately, I have pretty much given up. She doesn't seem to respond
to personal letters & phone calls. When she finally did respond by letter, it
was so rambling and disconnected, it was hard to make sense of what she had
written. I supect that she felt she "did the right thing" when she
offered a one year subscription for 1996, but I am far from
satisfied! I really feel ripped off!

The only reason she responded last year, IMHO, is because a # of us
complained on line about not receiving the magazine. One person
gathered all the info & sent it to her for a response. Her response
was very hostile to quite a few people and less than what most of us
were hoping for. I really don't want to go thru that again. (Am I
wimping out?)

Probably the best thing that could happen to TB would be for it to be
bought up by a PROFESSIONAL group who could keep subscriptions
straight, keep the typos & error to a minimum, and get the magazine
out ON TIME.

Sorry to rave on. I have some strong personal feelings here.
