The recent, unfortunate death of Dale Earnhart led to a wholesale disappearance from the mails of the Autoweek weekly magazine covering the Daytona 500 and his death. It was in a clear plastic bag with the 200 page "2001 Fan Guide" and neither was delivered to me. I called Crain Publications, the publisher, and was told that many, many hundreds of copies had diappeared from the mail. They asked if I had a private delivery or an open bin for magazines as in many apartment complexes. I told them that I live in a private house with a mail slot in the door. This meant that the magazine had disappeared somewhere in the USPS system. Crain said that they have had to run a whole second printing of the issue and of the Fan Guide because of this and to send them out in "plain brown wrappers". Now, I will admit that this is an exceptional situation, but I don't believe that the publisher should be stuck with this cost.
