I had been a member for years. The situation was not well handled -- they didn't even notify overseas members that they were stopping the seed offer; it just didn't come any more. Combine that with price increases, and overseas membership in the society went from being a reasonable expense to an incredibly costly way to get a magazine delivered months late. Mike San Jose, CA
