I've been subscribe to LJ (Linux Journal) for nearly 2 years now.  While I
have no problem with the Mag and find the article's interesting, I have had 
problems actually getting the magazines.

Of the 7 back issues I ordered only 4 arrived.
Of the 21 issues (I still have 3 left in my 24 month subscription)
	I've been s'posed to receive I've only got 16.

I have on numerous occasions told subscriptions this and get the response.
We don't replace international deliveries.   I can understand their position
and I 'd accept it if is as only 1 or 2 BUT not 8 (Thats a 29% failure rate).

I'm sure that others on this list are subscribers and have no problem.  Just
thought you should know what can go wrong.
