- Unfortunately I had bad luck with the 3B/Journal publication! First of
- all from the one issue I did get it wasn't worth the $25.00/yr ($5.00
- per issue -- you're paying for the paper they print it on). I decided
- to subscribe to this publication, back last year around April/May 1987.
- I paid my $25.00 via Mastercard, and received the first issue in
- July (July/August bimonthy issue). The journal had 30 pages, with 20%
- being advertisements. That didn't bother me all that much, as long
- as the rest of it had some content (which in my opinion it didn't).
-
- I didn't receive any publications for 6 months, and then I remembered
- about it. I called them and their number was changed. After finally
- tracking them down, I found out they moved and they were a little
- behind on the publications, but the promised me that the Nov/Dec issue
- would be coming soon. I still haven't receive any new issues. I wrote
- attmail!alpha!jou and attmail!alpha!plo (Paul Owens) wrote back. He
- said that he apologized about the delays and the issues should be
- coming real soon. This was back in January. It's now March. I just
- wrote and CANCELLED my subscription wanting a FULL REFUND of $25.00.
- They have no right in holding my money for over a year with just
- one issue!!
-
- I don't RECOMMEND this Journal at all. Be warned.
