We're sorry to be having this problem again, but yes the Postal Service is delivering our February 2007 issue late.

We delivered them on time, as usual, to the Postal Service, yet they continue to delay delivery. Excuses have varied from "there is just too much mail in the system right now" to "we were overwhelmed with magazines this month."

Whatever the reason, we have complained to the "higher ups" at the Postal Service, and they are "working on the problem."

We've received over 100 calls from concerned subscribers so far, and a few have called back to report their magazine finally arrived on February 8 or February 9.

We know the magazines are in the mail stream, and they should be delivered shortly.

Thank you for your patience.
