I don't know why I'm taking the time to respond to you again. I referred you once to an earlier thread containing nearly 60 posts about subscription problems. Apparently you were too lazy to read it. But for the record, Andy and others at Kalmbach did respond; they let us know that our complaints had been heard and that something was being done about them.

I think most of us who were having subscription troubles are satisfied that the worst is in the past.

If you are not interested in this thread, why have you taken the time to respond to it at least twice? Why not just skip over it? But I think I already know the answer ...

I received mine on the 4th. About 8 days earlier than in previous months. Thanks MR for responding.

With respect to Bill's responses on this thread, I think that one of the reasons why Kalmbach is so involved with this website is to get feedback from passionate customers. If I were the folks at Kalmbach I would be really interested in this thread as it provides independent data points about customer satisfaction. No business can thrive without that kind of info.

If you find this thread so rediculous, why not simply skip it. What I cannot understand is why someone would go out of their way to reply to a thread which they find so rediculous on more than one occasion. Those of us who were receiving our MR on the 15th or later every month for 6 months or more I believe are expressing appreciation to the MR folks by letting them know, "It arrived in Fort Worth on the 2nd this month, thanks." I choose to believe that Kalmbach is still a customer service oriented business and likes to hear from satisfied customers. If this is not true, why are any of us doing business with them. I am glad that your lack of concern for the desires of MR subscribers satisfaction is not a reflection on Kalmbach's attitude.

I don't recall "the Kalmbach folks" asking for this feedback. Obviously, if you mail something earlier, it should get there earlier, not exactly rocket science. As far as not having interest, I guess my interest is why so many people think it's necessary to notify the world when they get a magazine.

The Kalmbach folks have indicated they would improve subscription delivery. This thread provides them with feedback to monitor the effects of their efforts in this regard.It is quite acceptable for you to skip the thread items in which you have no interest.

They both showed up on the second That's two months in a row that they were three weeks earlier that the magazines averaged during the previous ten months. I am now convinced that the USPS only moves monthly magazines to our local PO three times monthly and they were just missing one of the once every ten days truckloads previously!!!

Scroll down to the thread "MR Subscription Woes" and read the nearly 60 responses posted there. Then maybe you'll get it.

I don't have mine yet, but I'm not going to complain unless I see it on the newsstand first.

It's not in rural Florida yet either. I got March and April within five days of one another! Curious to see when May shows up.
