In fact i got mine today. Well mine ain't (it's taking a week!). Perhaps Metla is taking it from my letterbox; reading it for a few days before putting it back?!	Chemical Ali (118)
520264	2007-01-29 09:04:00	Metla: Jen: Your tone indicated to me, in my opinion anyway, that you felt strongly that I shouldn't be grizzling at all and I associated that with your position as a forum moderator. You got all that from a posting. I didn't get that from Jens post.	rogerp (6864)
520265	2007-01-29 09:26:00	People keep asking where does it say subscribers get it before it's retailed. No answer to that yet. So where does it say..? And when was it on news stands, anyway - to know if it was actually late or not? Lots of opinions & questions here with little actual info. Giveusthefactsman.	Laura (43)
520266	2007-01-29 09:31:00	You got all that from a posting. I didn't get that from Jens post. Nor did I. I thought Jen was being very helpful. Seems like Chemical Ali is reading what he wants into other people's posts. This issue probably has nothing to do with PC World but more likely NZ Post.	FoxyMX (5)
520267	2007-01-29 09:55:00	Is that one of the things they advertise to subscribers, that you will get it before it is sent to their retailer?. Is there actually any incentive to subscribe, rather than to buy the editions that you want from the dairy, if it is delivered a week later than buying it from a retailer?.I think it's pretty much a given that a subscriber should be getting a better deal than a casual buyer. Apart from the convenience of having the mag delivered to your letterbox, what else, as a subscriber, would the benefit be? As a subscriber, the magazine has the use of your money well in advance of publication date...:2cents: In a week IT news can be very out of date.This is what the Interweb is for... :p	johcar (6283)
520268	2007-01-29 10:07:00	I wonder what Chemical Ali really wants, is he suggesting that PC World should hold back the release to the distributors for a few days to ensure that NZ Post can keep up? That would hardly be a recipe for business survival, the issue could be simply that the magazine distributors are getting more efficient than NZ Post . Just how PC World can influence NZ Post is an interesting case . That anyone could even get mildly upset over such an "issue" is beyond me though . . . pun intended	godfather (25)

And there are the specials - free gifts, changing from month to month. (My Altek Lansing headphones are great, thanks) This is what the Interweb is for... :p Interesting. Reply won't work without words in here. And my reply is in italics above. Tough. Not typing it again.	Laura (43)
520270	2007-01-29 10:14:00	And after that - double post deleted EDIT: But still waiting for answers to my 2 questions. The where & when ones...	Laura (43)
520271	2007-01-29 10:20:00	I see what you did there	roddy_boy (4115)
520272	2007-01-29 19:13:00	STOP THE PRESSESS!! From now on no PC World magazines will be released to the newsagents UNTIL Paul has recieved his personal copy . This will be confirmed by photographic evidence and afadavit . PCWorld will endevor to help Paul control his drama queen personality and realise he must have thrown tantrums as a child that he has never really overcome .	netchicken (4843)
