hankronDuly note that this type of thread pops up on this board about once every every year. It always starts with a collector who subscribes to a "12 issue subscription" and wondering why he hasn't received his first's months copy in six or eight months. He assumed the 12 issue subscription meant it was a monthly, not 1 issue every six months for six years.
That this same type of thread appears regularly, shows that VCBC has got issues (figuratively obviously).
That VCBC still hasn't figured out to explain to the new subscriber that the "12 issue" subscription does not mean it's a montly but that a new issue is mailed out every six or eight months or so, says VCBC is either incompetant or they simply don't care about the readers expectations or feelings.
"Dear Potential Subscriber. You are subscribing to 12 issues. A new copy comes out about every six or eight months. There are no set dates for release of a new issue. VCBC is not a montly magazine."
-- That, my friends, is known as communicating clearly to potential subscribers. It's that simple and it took me seven seconds to write. For some strange unfathamable enchanted forrest pixies on dewdrops magic carpet ride reason, it has never dawned upon VCBC to write such copy even though about every new subscriber wonders why their first month's issue hasn't arrived yet.
