Except I hope your good lerson didn't turn evil. If he did, can you post the experience?
BTW, it is good to see you again.
Audrey, I wouldn't consider it Straight Evil, but shades of gray. I'm just trying to provide the lessons I've learned since becoming a member and also provide the positives and negatives so that those who are first entering this hobby will have a better idea of what to expect and of the multiple possibilities and outcomes that can come from an order. Just like a stock can bring you amazing dividends, it can also lose all value. The biggest point that I'd like to make for those who struggle with a potential loss is, don't spend more than you're willing to lose.
I haven't been to Las Vegas in quite some time, but when I did go, I put a side a nominal amount of money that I knew would end up being owned by the casino. This is the mentality that you have to have in order to not lose your mind if something goes wrong.
Finally, do you research, and then do some more. Also, try getting your magazines from appropriate locations in your hometown by establishing networks with your provider. If you end up reading more magazines than your provider is willing to give, take a step back and think about the pros and cons. Most importantly, be safe. I know not everyone is seeking the same magazines, but remember that some magazines can give you "deadly" ideas depending on how they've been printed. "F" is a real issue that you don't want to come across.
Be safe my friends, and be vigilant. And please share your experiences so that we can create a user network experience area to assist everyone from new to old.
One other side note, I'm interested in establishing a testing center for our site. I currently have equipment that will test for the traditionally specific things that can end a lifetime subscription forever. I hope everyone can read between the lines in what I'm saying.If you're going to order a specific quantity, it wouldn't hurt to have a random piece checked for quality control.
Maybe if Charon finds my idea a good one, we could work something out. My main goal is to keep everyone healthy and okay.
