I also subscribe and have for the last three years, I enjoy the mag, mistakes happen. It was like the "Sin" bible, it was printed with the commandment "Thou shalt commit adultery".
What gets to me is the glee that people have when the issue comes out, who will be the first to "spot the Ball/mistake.
So that's me and Ike you are still a troll, I live at 666 Satans Way, Devils Peak in Cape Town.

Who cares what you think. I will be here WAY after you.

BTW: I think I have the right to complain if the service I am receiving is bad. Nuff said....

IMHO if the mag is so bad that you can spend half your life complaining about it then don't buy it. If not then stop whining... PCF isn't part of our human rights in this country even though it is being run as such...

Next month when they give out a free copy of C&C 4 to make up for all the little mistakes you will be happy you didn't right off the mag (hopeful thinking :) )

I've decided to go and get the mag anyway, regardless of those four pages. Mistakes happen.

I make them too, could explain why most of my time is spent debugging...

What's the rest of the mag like?
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.

So were these pages accidently included?
I'm not quite sure how they made it into this month's mag - I didn't actually get to see this edition before going to print, I've just started helping out so I'll only be responsible for mistakes from May onwards :P.

All hail to our new dark lord, and ruler... Judas... (something doesn't fit in that line, but anyways)

That's true... I'll be checking the final design too though, so if there's pages missing that's also my fault. In fact, all problems henceforth are my fault ;).

Okay, sorry about the weather guys - I know it's been rough, but I'm not going to stop the global warming until Bush pays me $1 000 000 000 000.

Guys I really don't think that 4 pages can spoil a whole magazine! So what if 4 pages have been repeated? I just looked at the march issue again and saw that there are 98 pages, so 98 - 4 = 94. So, it's not going to stop me from enjoying it. It's a mistake, the day one of you guys are 100% perfect, then and only then can you really complain.

Dust stop sucking up. What a silly remark! Lance

lancelot, I can't believe your a grown man. Why call him a fool? Why? Your like a primary school kid. Can't you make your point without resorting to cheap verbal attacks? Paying readers have the right to "troll" about anything their not happy with. I've noticed in your posts that you like to attack forum members. You need to grow up. May I suggest that maybe you need to learn a bit of respect? Lance

In addition, how can you ask him why he cares? Pcf has a reputation for mistakes and it is the duty of the readers to make themselves heard. Ike has made some relevant points. This is a huge mistake and one has to ask how it could have been overlooked. If anything, PCF staff should be on high alert after complaints they have received about previous issues.

Besides, your just a forum member with a few extra buttons so I don't even know why I'm wasting my time. So then why did you bother? Just to show your lack of anything decent? Lance

Learn respect? From who? You? Don't make me laugh. Going around editing peoples post with your own comments. Now thats disrespectful and most of the mods do it. You'll get no respect from me with stuff like this happening.
