Your post reminded me of one other fact

When I cancelled- in writing - Newsweek did not honor my request but kept sending it. I had to continually write to them to stop. Finally, it did stop coming but I never got back any pro-rated money from my remaining subscription.

You were lucky that it was for free, but i was lucky that they didn't send it to me for another year! What a lousy, poorly written, and even worse proof read periodical.

Would any person who writes for Newsweek admit to being one at a party? It would be like boasting about being a pest control 'engineer'. You want to keep such info under wraps.
