[cool][#0000ff]I was a "charter member". I did like the basic concept and the magazine...at first. Then, it suddenly took on the look of the tail wagging the dog. The "goodies" were only there to lure people in and make them susceptible to the nonstop promotions. Every time you turn around, you are getting another "invoice", unrequested books or other promotional material. And, if you are not smart, you will pay to send the books back. If you ARE smart, you can keep them and not pay for them. They will get wise after while.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I cancelled my membership at one point, because their publication became mostly ads (like most magazines) and the quality of the editorial material was really not educational or stimulating...to me at least. I also got tired of sending back books and/or fighting with them about paying for things I had not ordered. It took me almost two years and a change of address to get them off my back.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Those silly renewal packages they send, along with the patches and lousy tackle are a joke. It is also virtually impossible to ever get anything worthwhile to test if you are part of that program.[/#0000ff]
