So I subscribed, although they are sneaky bastids and I'm not happy about it.

They promote it as an "annual" subscription, which to my mind means it should last 12 months. Right? Apparently not. My subscription expires on January 31st 2007. So I'm only getting 9 months for my "annual" subscription. If I sign up with a magazine for an annual subscription, I would expect all issues for a full 12 months.

They also set it up by default as an automatically renewing subscription. This means that I'll be automatically billed for another "annual" subscription on January 31st 2007. I can't see a way to turn this "feature" off apart from manually cancelling my subscription prior to this date.

I don't really mind paying for quality content, but this is sneaky and underhanded.
