90 forum posts 3 photos	Hi all, I just received my copy of 4366 in the post today, Monday 7th. I was always of the opinion that one of the main reasons we subscribe to a mag is so that we receive it before it generally goes on sale in the shops, I saw it on sale in Smiths in Carlisle last Sunday (not yesterday, ... the Sunday before) what's going on? I also don't think that I'm well suited being able to read the mag in the "back issues" section of the web site for almost two weeks before receiving the hard copy in the post. Yours, A bit miffed subscriber; quite a bit miffed actually. Donald Mitchell Castle Douglas Scotland.

3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles	Hi There Not sure why the magazine being available as a back number before it is published is a problem? This week, where delivery was delayed at least meant you could see it even if you could not handle it. regards David

90 forum posts 3 photos	Hi all, and David, Just call me old-fashioned; I like to sit with my feet up in front of the fire with a glass of decent malt in hand and leaf through the pages of Model Engineer, looking to forward to whatever might be on the next page. I do agree that the digital back issues on the website are a great idea and a very valuable and convenient way of looking up previous issues etc., but I really think that back issues should be just that. Surely issue 4366 being available as a back issue for near enough the best part of a fortnight before the real thing drops through my letterbox is a bit wonky. When issue 4366 arrived today, I experienced no great urge to open the silver bag and to enjoy reading the mag manually. It is now filed on top of the pile of it's predecessors, un-thumbed - seems a bit of a waste. Might it not be an idea, in future, not to digitally publish an issue as a back number until the next newer one is paper-published. (and delivered) Anyway enough of my moaning, I've been reading and enjoying ME since about 1974 and I look forward to every issue. David, thank you very much for your hard work in recent months, you have made ME better than ever. Best wishes to all. Donald Mitchell

3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles	Hi There I don't make policy on what is and is not a back issue. You don't have to read them online. (But I know readers with access will.) Right, 11pm, stop working and go to bed I think. regards david
