[CAUT] Journal Article Thank You! How Fast...

[Albert Picknell]

I'm still waiting for my December 2010 issue.  This has become ridiculous.  For the last several months now I've been receiving each month's issue the following month - sometimes as late as the middle of the month.  Anybody know what's going on with this?
