In stories, I am covering that I consider "ongoing," I refrain from comment. On stories such as this one, which from everything I can gather (including sources I could not use in my news story), is not ongoing (decision has been made) I feel comfortable waiting a day or two and then commenting.
As for my immediate take? I'm couldn't be more baffled by the entire chain of events.
Look for a commentary, as always clearly labeled as such, on Friday.

That's right Tom - they also have two versions, a Lake and an Offshore. I get them both. But YOU got a calendar?!

I JUST asked for this 2 year subscription for Christmas and they probably already paid for it 
I am also just getting into Powerboating and I love this website!
I am only 26, so I was only able to afford something on the smaller end. I bought a 2005 Stingray 230SX with a 496 Mag. I am loving it so far!

Isn't that e-mail outright fraudulent marketing? Maybe even this whole fiasco was a deception to gain subscribers for Boating Magazine. Sounds like class action lawsuit material to me. Personally, like I said earlier, I was gifted a subscription to Powerboat but I still feel bad for the "gifter". I do enjoy Boating mag but it is not what was subscribed to and will be a slap in the face to a lot of boaters every time an issue comes. I'll bet a lot of copies end up right in the trash. At least we didn't get "Wakeboarding" I guess.
