I called the Fin Review subscriptions and was told I had to have both. I escalated this issue up to a director level, but was unable to convince him that because I wished to avoid cutting down trees unnecessarily that I should be allowed to subscribe electronically if I wanted to. He disagreed with this suggestion, so he missed out on a subscription. It doesn't surprise me to see them in trouble. If the top of the pyramid doesn't want to give customers what they want when it saves them money, how long will that business last? I feel the same sense of frustration when I see the Rudd Govt being controlled by maniacs in the coal industry, who put their own interests ahead of the planet's. ....../Chris About 3 or 4 years ago I wanted to subscribe to the Fin Review on-line, but I didn’t want the hardcopy newspaper.
