If I was you I would voice my concerns. I know the people at Eli are listening {g}. I have had more conversions and feedback from Jonathan (the editor of FT). I am hoping to blog more later.

I just renewed FoxTalk for a year and the only reason for doing so was the in depth stuff that appeared in Foxtalk. I've used it not only with VFP, but with other languages as well.<br /><br />On the other hand, I did not renew my subscription to Smart Access or Inside Access because I always see the same type of article, done by the same authors (one enitre issue was "author" - 4 articles from the same person, who is obviously not a developer!). <br /><br /> I'm also in the process of dropping several others because they are getting so watered down (Visual Studio mag comes to mind).<br /><br /> The folks at Eli really need to wake up. And I've absolutly had it with their mail barrage. I'm guessing twenty or so within the last week or two. What a waste.<br /><br />Jim Dettman Wish I would have seen this sooner.

I made the mistake of renewing for a year and am now stuck with a crappy publication that disappoints me even time I receive a new issue. And those stupid invoices ... don't get me started.<br /><br />I'm going to ask refund.<br /><br />Malcolm Greene Rick,

I agree with you 100%. I made the mistake of renewing for a year and am now stuck with a crappy publication that disappoints me even time I receive a new issue. And those stupid invoices … don’t get me started.

I’m going to ask refund.

The guy responded that they were just trying to inform their readers that the issues were available online. I cannot imagine that anybody subscribes to Foxtalk and doesn't download the PDF issues and source code. Very odd letters are faxed to me once a week and I still get more by mail! Warning - don't give them your fax number!<br /><br />Tim Saylor I called them the other day asking what’s the deal with the letters about the September issue being online.
