I have some new information for those of you who, like myself, having been waiting for the long-overdue second issue.
As suggested by someone, I called the number listed inside the magazine this evening- it was disconnected. I then called the advertising line and reached a gentleman whose name I didn't catch. He gave me the following information- if anything is incorrect, I garbled it:
- A mass email was reportedly sent out, explaining the problems the magazine has been having with distribution. Maybe I was blacklisted, because I have never received any emails from LAP about the magazine, over these last 3 months.
- Their distribution problems have been solved and the combined Aug/Sept issue has been sent out supposedly. I was told that I should have it "in a few days"
- Next week, I should also be receiving the October 2004 issue of the magazine. After that, the monthly release schedule should be good.
I did not ask what the regular release schedule for the magazine would be in the future. I also held back on asking if my subscription would be extended for one month/magazine, or if the combined issue counts as 2 issues towards my subscription coverage.
Hopefully I won't be calling them back next week to find out what went wrong. I will report either a successful magazine receipt or a follow-up conversation next week.
If anyone else has any information, or has received their late issues, please let us all know.
Thanks to whomever it was that I talked to tonight in MS.
