Yeah, I know that you won't be able to refund unused portions of subscriptions if you go bankrupt. Of course I haven't ever gotten a refund from any other news source, online or offline, that has gone belly up either, so I don't exactly expect it. What are you worried about, that I'll put a $40 lien on your house?

Normally magazines will attempt to sell their mailing lists to some competing organization when they die, often in exchange for some coverage of the existing subscriptions, but that always varies. Anyway, I still think you'd be doing both yourself and us a big favor by encouraging the yearly subscriptions.

I agree. I have too many monthly bills as it is. I'd rather pay for a whole year and not worry about annoying reminders for awhile.
