Although I agree, I have found it useful, too, to an extent. I had three issues never arrive. The only way I knew I should have received them was through those posts (just a couple, saying they had received theirs, though, would have served the same purpose). So, I waited a bit longer (a few weeks), contacted the appropriate person, and got a new copy sent out. Worked out great in the end, but I would not have known I should have received an issue if it was not for those posts.
