has anybody received their pop photo magazine subcription since renewing their photo.net membership? i renewed in september and seem to remember it saying to expect an 8 week delay before 1st issue...i read it at the library every month so it's not a big deal, just curious...

I renewed my subscription sometime in the fall, and I am receiving the magazine.
Don't know why I keep subscribing, today there are better sources. It's a habit from long-gone days when 47th St. Camera was (sort of) the B&H of the time. I once ordered a 400mm f/6.3 pre-set from the Spiratone ad in the back pages for less than $60, and it was a pretty good lens. A more recent pleasant memory comes from the excellent columns in Pop Photo by (photo.net member) Steve Sint.
Regardless, you should be receiving your magazine.

... but look at the bright side...
once you subscribe, and then unsibscribe or your subscription expires, they will keep sending the magazine for a long time...
... also so you could get multiple requests for subscription renewal, and is easy to get caught paying multiple times, if you are not careful and allow automatic charges.
Multiple subscriptions and multiple payments will cause havoc. Even though you used one address and paid twice, when next time you only renew one, they will keep bothering you about paying the second subscription extension.
Mail comming about once a week with URGENT notice to pay for the magazine that you receive.
In my experience, they could not understand that the second payment renewal to the same name and address, was done by mistake, but somehow only one copy was ever sent.
It was impossible to make clear and continue with only one subscription, without getting nasty letters about not paying for the other, that should have never happen.
Finally, I got rid of the magazine, even though I enjoyed reading the magazine.

Thom,
The pop photo people tell me that your subscription will start with the March issue.
