I have been recieving Fons and Porter's magazine for more than a year and I did not subscribe. Somewhere I read that magazines have to prove that they have a certain amount of subscribers to get advertizing. Even if they have to give the magazine away through a mailing list they can claim that it reaches so many people. The advertizing pays for the magazine, subscriptions don't begin to cover the cost.
I remember when I thought that paying for cable TV meant that there would be no commercials. My son-in-law writes for and edits a "trade" magazine. Subscriptions to it are more than $800 a year. I don't think it has any ads.

It is apparent that I did not order this DVD because they keep telling me (at least 5 reminders) that," We understand that you did not order this DVD, you are under no obligation
to do anything and can consider it a free gift, but we do hope that you decide to participate"
WHY DONT THEY READ THEIR OWN WORDS. SURE THEY SENT ME THE DVD AND I LAID IT DOWN SOMEPLACE AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS BUT THEN AGAIN IT IS FREE SO WHY DO I HAVE TO RETURE IT. SO WHY DO THEY HOUND ME FOR SOMETHING THAT IS FREE.

I am to through with BE. I will never, ever order from them
for fear they may ask me to return what I pay for.

BE you dont send a person a free gift and then hound them to
get it back. Either it is mine or mine. Which one is it?

Read your letter and tell me if I am doing something wrong.

I had something like this happen last year with Fons & Porter and didn't return it as it said free, but than kept receiving the letters asking about it and what was my reply. so I returned the dvd and said no thanks. Haven't received any more from them. Of course the DVD and patterns were a couple years old as well. Nothing current.

I don't get stuff like that. Probably because I am not on anyones mailing lists. I think I would have previewed it and then returned it.
