Fw: [pct-l] BackpackingLight Print Magazine - Scam?

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

To those concerned:

I advised Dr. Ryan Jordan at BPL of this issue less than 30 minutes ago 
(there's a one hour time zone difference between us). Here is his response 
which he asked that I share with you. Rest assured, BackPackingLight and 
BearTooth Mountain Press are reputable folks. And lest one ask, I have no 
connection whatever with either organization, other than as a satisified 
customer.

Bob, thanks. We had delays in this issue because we now have a
distributor and are trying to meet the strict requirements they have for
format, barcoding, and other logistics. The issue is in press, and once
it goes to press, it takes a few weeks to get mailed. Folks should be
mailed their issues around the turn of the year. Also, we certainly
guarantee that each subscriber will receive a full volume: 4 issues,
even if those issues are not within a 12 month period.

Thanks for forwarding this, and I'd appreciate it if you let folks know
in your circles what you heard from me, too.

Take care,
Ryan

Ryan:

This sort of thing does not make for good publicity for BPL. You might want 
to respond to this guy - and maybe to the PCT_List forum - ASAP. Good luck 
in the snow!
