Here's my only comment on Cook's Illustrated:

>To Whom It May Concern:
>
>	Thank you for your note reminding me that payment for my
>subscription for Cook¹s Illustrated is due. It occurred to me, upon
>reading Caroline Pennington¹s note, that I do not have a
>subscription to Cook¹s Illustrated, and am not aware of ever having
>one.
>
>	I am not certain, but I may have received one, or possibly
>two, issues of Cook¹s Illustrated in my mailbox, but if so, I
>believe they were entirely unsolicited and I was under no obligation
>to take the time and trouble to return them. Of course, I may be
>mistaken. It seems highly unlikely, though, as I subscribe to
>Gourmet Magazine and haven¹t had time to unwrap a copy of that, let
>alone read it, in several months. 
>
>	Therefore, please forward by return mail a copy of my signed
>order form, OR a sensible explanation of how you got my name and
>address, and how this error occurred. If I do not receive this
>information within ten days of the date on this letter, I will
>forward copies of your note to the Attorney General¹s Offices for
>the States of Iowa and New York, no later than October 21, 1999,
>with a complaint regarding unsolicited publications and the practice
>known as slamming.
>
>	If I have simply forgotten that I subscribed to your
>magazine, which, again, seems highly unlikely, I apologize for
>assuming your company is involved in an unethical business practice.
>
>	Also, please cancel my subscription to Cook¹s Illustrated.
>
>	Thank you.
