I'm not sure if you're replying to my message. I was the one who brought
up the matter of life subscriptions.

My point was never "what happens to the life subscribers", since even
without Wayne's statement, by definition a "life subscription" should
end when the subscriber dies, or the magazine dies.

I was just really curious if 73 had indeed honored the life subscriptions
over all those years. $37 probably wasn't cheap forty years back when
the magazine was new, but that's an outright steal for anyone who
was getting it right up to the last issue. I remember them offering
life subscriptions in 1973 for $73 and except that that was a lot of
money for me at the time, it still would have been a steal. That would
barely pay for two or three years of a magazine subscription today.
