A few folks have asked about my call and the number for ChilePepper mag. It's th one listed in the fron of the mag as Customer Service. 1-800-767-9377 is the number I called. The girl was pleasant but feeling very harassed by the calls and many inquiries as to the continuation of the magazine. However, if I remember correctly they were purchased this past late spring. I would guess it is change of ,management/ownership/printer contracts etc. I work in the Mail Order Catalog business and it is much the same. I headed up the David Kay Catalog for Home and Garden for 5 years. It was owned by the largest Horticultural Mail order group in the country. BOOM, they sold it, what a mess, I consulted for the new owner in Omaha (ugh), left, it sold again and who knows where it is now! Such is the nature of that business. I have a subscription through July/Aug. of 03 for ChilePepper and surely want them to survive profitably as I love it! Hotness Rules, Mary-Anne* in SF Bay Area The M of S & M (Steve & Mary-Anne)
