| | I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much
| better
| | rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing
this,
| my
| | four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a
| solicitation
| | from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my)
name
| and
| | address. I always check the little box indicating that I don't want
| my
| | information shared and I don't want to recieve any offers. I will
| never
| | subscribe to any Belvoire publication again.
|
| Many magazines offer discounts to attract first time subscribers, just
| as
| landlords offer discounts on the first six months lease, restaurants
| offer
| two for one specials, etc. It is not an attempt to cheat you.
|
| In sending your son an ad for another magazine, they were no more
| dishonest
| than you representing yourself as your own son. I figure you're about
| even.
| Maybe they should send you a letter saying they never want you as a
| customer
| again. :-)
|
|
|
| To be clear, I didn't represent myself as my son.
|
| You couldn't! In that case, you couldn't reach the rudder pedals.

Nah, we'll just give him a cushion. From now on, he is Mike Rapoport "The
Small." :-)
