Katie was concerned that her subscription to Modern Ferret would run out before she ever saw a single issue. MF's subscriptions are issue-based, that is you are buying 6 issues for $19.95, not one year. When they are able to keep to their normal publication schedule, you get an issue every other month, so 6 issues is normally one year. When Mary and Eric are able to publish again (which I pray will be soon, in terms of Eric's health, their business' success, and my need for my MF magazine fix!), subscribers will get their money's worth.

Of course, what you say is correct, but she will update their website and/or send mail with further details in case people have questions. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3149]
