I need to correct my earlier statement that the most current issue is included in the welcome pack. It is not. It's included in the information pack.

If you join after the current issue has mailed, your membership is extended for another issue to take this into account.

For example, if you join after Thursday of this week, which is when the mailing list is final for the March/April issue, you will not receive the March/April issue unless you buy it as a back issue. Your first issue will be May/June and your one year subscription will expire after the March/April 2008 issue (should you choose to let it expire).

This is my understanding of how it works -- feel free to chime in if you know differently.

I am now officially bowing out of membership issues and will continue to produce the magazine.

And I'm sorry for the earlier bit of bad information.
