I think I'm the one who started the last discussion on this topic, and maybe it is time for an update. The postings after mine indicated a mixed success with receiving issues of Chile Pepper. I called their subscription line which someone kindly supplied to me and explained that I had not received an issue in 6 months or so, nor had a friend to whom I had given a gift subscription. They told me they would "look into it" and get back to me. This was about a month ago. I'm still waiting...... Maybe after the frenzy of the holidays dies down I will give them a call back. Right now there is just too much else to do! Cheers! Dale Hitchcock Bethesda, MD dhitcho@zzapp.org
