More like a few unsubstantiated and untrue rumours David, I'm afraid.

I cant speak for Power, but for our 4 pages you are very substantially off
beam. I only wish your figures were remotely near the mark.

However the price you quoted me for advertising in the Survivor when you
rang on 20th October was 8-10 times as much as we pay AA on a colour A4 page
per sold issue basis, and that is the only important statistic as far as we
are concerned. I'm sure you remember the conversation - it was the one where
you told me that AA had been dropped by their disttributor and were about to
cease publication.

As anyone with any eyes in ther head can see the opposite is the case. Since
AA kicked out their old distributor and appointed a new one AA is making
appearances at newsagents and newsstands everywhere.

I suggest you act a bit more professionally in your dealings with the PC
market - the magazines in that market are usually much less forgiving.

Hope this helps set things straight
