- Just to be contrary, I tried getting the ChronEx for a few months a few
- years ago. The delivery was, to say the least, spotty (I think I maybe
- recieved 30% of my papers). I wrote them a letter telling them I wouldn't
- pay. They wrote back telling me I had to pay. I wrote them another letter
- telling them if they didn't stop asking me to pay, I'd sue, contact the
- Attorney General, blah, blah, blah. I then proceeded to throw out anything
- with a ChronEx return address on it.
-
- No ill effects (yet). Your mileage may vary.

- P.s. The service really is HORRIBLE, isn't it. Not to mention that the
- papers aren't very good. Bleah.
