Gamhines, 1st off I think you'll find that most here would agree regarding the communication part of things.
At the same time, this is pretty much a "family" thing & most folks look at it as such & cut Gary some slack. The magazine is still a fairly new endeavor to him & I think he'll admit he's in the middle of a steep learning curve.
For some I can see where it's aggravating. You paid for a product with an anticipated delivery date that has come & gone (by a ways). If we are honest, most of us wouldn't tolerate that with most businesses & would be jumping up & down, hollering, & demanding the product now or our money returned, & I can understand that.
I guess my take on it is that since it is "family" I'll wait fairly quietly while my "brother" tries to work the kinks out. The money is "invested", & when the mag gets here it will be worth the wait. In the meantime at least the magazine price won't go up when postage does
(always a bright side).
