What's Up Wth Ultimate Audio Magazine ?

Sheesh.... renewing your subscription on their own, billing your card without your permission and not acknowledging ANY inquiries from subscribers. Sounds like a downward spiral at ever increasing speeds. I would step back lest you be drawn into the whirlwind and spit out like the other debris that they will leave behind. Then again, i am not a subscriber nor have i ever desired to be one. Too much "glossy paper" and not enough "substance" for me... Sean

E-Mail Lisa Astor at stereophile - isn't her husband Myles the editor?

Don't "punish" or "barrage" Lisa with email for her husband's business associations. That would be like someone having a "discussion" with your wife simply because you cut him off in traffic. Not only is nothing resolved, things can escalate or get ugly. Guilt by association is NO fun for anyone. It is always best to deal directly with the source and let everyone take responsibility for their own actions. Sean

Dearest Sean - I was only thinking she may be able to clear up any problem that the magazine may be having to delay it. You are getting a bit touchy on this needlessly. I am not upset that it is not arriving on time -many of these high end publications come and go or experience delays or buy-outs that force changes in delivery.

I hear ya. It's just that i HATE getting stuck in the middle of situations that i have no control over. No matter what you say or do, as a non-participating middle man, all you can do is say nothing, make matters worse or drag your own reputation into the mud for trying to stick up for your friend / spouse / relative. It's hard to "shed light" when you are not directly involved as Lisa is. Sean
