You guys have your point, but I think that a 50% rate increase is a HUGE increase no matter what.
It is to me the best magazine around, I hope it will continue to be, and nontheless I will still have to shell out half a Ben Franklin to get my US subscription. I don't care that Face-Full is about the same price, I really don't care.
What upsets me the most is that the rate was hiked without any notice. I'd been paying $32 since 2001 or so.
Anyways, PGI guys, keep up the good work.
