I was a member back in the late 80's and let my membership lapse. I rejoined the club about 4 years ago. I really like the magazine and have also purchased several of their books from the book club. Although I have filled out the necesary paperwork to be eligible for field testing products, I have never received any. I also send in the card every month. That kinda irks me but oh well.
I agree that they send out too much junk mail. If they and the NRA would stop sending all that junk they could probably save thousands of dollars and wouldn't have to keep asking me for more donations!
