Maybe Brian (he is the one who has been dealing with that friendly person
from The Atlantic) should (1) MAIL (2) to their PRESIDENT (or Editor in Chief)
not only (3) a COPY of the above correspondence but also (4) actual PROOF
from SEVERAL "well known and trusted" web html-verifiers.

Maybe he/she will actually FIRE the guy.  I wish I could say that would
be our loss!

In fact, since I myself am a subscriber to the magazine, and have been
for some number of years, I will send THIS piece of text along to
the boss-person.

I will wait a day or so for a reply from Brian telling me the guy's
name, so there will be no question about who it is there who is
so friendly to potential subscribers.
