I find it interesting that a site connected to Consumer Reports is not afraid to attack its own... :)

On a related issue, I had once noticed that many monthly (or periodic) magazines entice you with a free copy of their magazine, then send you a bill to subscribe by paying for the remaining 11 months. So the magazine is only free as long as you don't subscribe. If it's free, they really shouldn't charge you for it if you become a customer--they should give you an addition *12* months when you pay.

Back to this one, I'd call it a minorly deceptive issue since the "clip-out coupon" rather clearly shows that the first one is $26.

BTW...thanks for the shameless plug; maybe when my 5-year subscription runs out I know where to go...
