You ARE joking arent you?! Dont mean to be so frank, but you have gone completely nuts.The bad news is that it's going to cost about $8 more per year for a surface mail subscription.We will be contacting all of our surface mail subscribers and asking them to please send us the additional money so we don't lose money on their subscriptions.
Crisis partially averted, for now.
Your crisis has only begun if you think to ask your foreign subscribers to cover the costs of a business decision which should of been known (at worst) and addressed with a solution (at best) months ago. You are now going to ask me to send you the extra money so YOU dont lose money?!Wow! Now that takes courage...
Well Dustin you were right...And now I know why!
While Im happy with getting my subscription at the annual rate I paid (albeit 3 to 4 weeks after the initial release), Im not happy with the idea of asking ME to eat any loss YOU may have as a result of poor business forecasting. At the very least lie to me about a higher quality ink being used, thicker magical paper or brighter photos, or something...anything... to justify this move other than "ooopsss, by the way, we dont want to lose money therefore we are asking you to send a donation"...The magazine is good but it aint...well never mind...
Is it? While I dont condone it...Just for the record, GENII, IS ALREADY available for those in the know in pdf.Thats all I have to say on the issue.This thread is not a debate about the issues of whether Genii is going to become a digital magazine available as a pdf--it isn't, and that's the end of that discussion.
