Making things easier for some…
…shouldn’t be a burden to anyone else.
Every time I open a magazine, I’m amazed at how many solicitations are there to subscribe to the same magazine that I already have a subscription to. Why can’t they just let the magazine content speak for itself? If someone likes what they read, then they’ll find a way to subscribe.
I Blogged What? 
you know, this reminds me of how bands (particularly local bands) will mention their merch every five seconds at a concert. i don’t think they should mention it at all. their music should speak for itself…if they’re good, they’ll sell their cd. if a band does it, i won’t buy anything from them…is that mean?
on another note, that’s pretty rockin’ that you subscribe to Smithsonian.
Thanks, I only subscribe to it to occasionally see pictures of my Neanderthal brothers and sisters.
