I, too, got the JCW catalog yesterday. I have not been on their mailing list for several years and this popped up out of the blue. My inclination is to compare the mailing address label from JCW to mailing addresses for club/magazine subscriptions because the information has to come from somewhere. I find it's a good practice to subscribe with a slight variation in mailing address for each magazine, so when something comes in that you didn't expect, you can tell where the information was sold. It's as easy as: James P Bryant James Bryant Jim Bryant J P Bryant Jim Byrant And when something comes in to "Byrant" the culprit is obvious. But...having the VW-only JCW catalog isn't all that bad, is it? -Jim Bryant
