First, I'd be glad that prices have gone down on something these days.
To my certain knowledge, lowering prices has been a time-tested way of
increasing sales. It bugs you? Life's like that.

Well, Charlie, you told me to get facts. Can I assume that you know ofr a
fact that prices did go down for everyone all the time? That is my
question. Is there stages of pricing depending on when and how you renew?
When is the best time to renew? Are you speaking for WJ or for yourself
with your statement above?


Second, you didn't really ask questions. You sniped.

One man's question is another man's snipe.



Journalism is not about answering questions on an internet forum. I
read one guy supporting another who felt the first person was unfairly
castigated. You read a conspiracy, or something, of industry insiders
patting each other on the back.

We disagree.

Oh, if I were you, I'd toss the invoices.

That was my first inclination. On later thought (Rob opened the door) I
decided that bringing this practice to the attention of others is important.
I can possibly save a few bucks for others that choose to buy the magazine.
I probably won't take the time to cancel, but I will definitely has second
thought at renewal time next year. This situation also determines what I do
with other discretionary spending. The Rockler family is involved with this
publication. Once the association is made, you have to wonder about other
things.
